CarbonWorks provides a decarbonization solution for agriculture and industry by developing and producing renewable raw materials for these sectors from the CO2 they emit. These renewable raw materials replace fossil or mineral raw materials and thus contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Decarbonizing agriculture and industry
For this, CarbonWorks uses photosynthetic microalgae: they grow by absorbing carbon C from CO2 and release oxygen O2. Microalgae, organisms between 10 and 100 microns in size, can also produce particular molecules: limestone, silica, lipids, proteins, toxins, etc. By choosing the right strain of algae, we grow micro-plants that naturally produce the desired molecule.
To produce raw materials and capture CO2 at the scale of agriculture and industry needs, CarbonWorks is developing an innovative technology for intensive microalgae cultivation. It measures the quality of its developments against three indicators: life cycle analysis (reducing any negative impact), land ownership (as small as possible), cost (in the market). It has filed 11 patents and is continuing its research and scaling up of its technology.
CarbonWorks also develops with its team of microbiologists the renewable raw materials expected by agriculture and industry. Among other things, it develops fungicides, biostimulants, cosmetic ingredients, nutraceuticals, etc.
CarbonWorks is a producer of renewable raw materials on behalf of third parties: it does not position itself on the application, does not seek to replace existing companies, and wishes instead to accompany them in their ecological transition.
