A platform that captures solar energy and CO₂, converting them into a controlled system for advanced algae cultivation.
The DAC-PBR platform develops a solar-powered CO₂ capture and storage system integrated with advanced algae cultivation, transforming captured carbon into scalable, climate-positive biomass production. Designed for marine and arid environments, the system combines direct air capture with seawater-based photobioreactors to enable sustainable protein production and high-value bioactive compounds.
