Bioremediation

Our CO₂  capture, sequestration, and conversion facilities are built vertically on small footprints, and do not require massive banks of fans. Therefore, they are more financially and energy-efficient than other methods. We capture carbon dioxide onsite, in clean, high concentrations from emissions partners like cement factories, manufacturers, waste treatment plants, and energy providers. 

AllGaea’s design can grow biomass vertically in less space. For example, we can build our RAS system in only 1,100 square feet and produce the same amount of algae as is typically produced in 1.5 acres, or build on an 8-acre footprint and produce the same as a facility spread-out over 1,000 acres. Therefore, Allgaea’s facilities can be positioned in crowded urban settings near manufacturers, sewage treatment plants, and energy suppliers. This reduces capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX), especially for energy and real estate. Additionally, we can customize the model and production to create ideal environments for the customer's algae species. Despite that we offer exceptional quality, curated algae products which are grown more sustainably, our price remains competitive in the marketplace. 

Carbon Credits are certificates for sequestered emissions, greenhouse gasses withheld from the atmosphere, for which corporations would otherwise be taxed per metric ton. Laws in many countries, like those in Canada and the European Union, require large businesses that emit substantial greenhouse gasses to pay a carbon tax. The goal of this approach is to reduce emissions and inspire companies to reduce their overall carbon footprint. In the European Union, these taxes and credits range from $1.83 in Estonia to Sweden’s $108.81. In Canada, the carbon tax/carbon credit is $40/metric ton, with a plan to increase that to $170/metric ton by 2030. 

According to Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, since 2019 in the United States, at least eight different congressional carbon tax acts have been proposed. The United States Congressional Budget Office proposed a carbon tax/carbon credit of $25/metric tons as a way to reduce the deficit. However, no carbon tax legislation has been passed yet.
