Algae will save the planet, again. In many ways algae are already responsible for all life on earth. These 3.5 billion year old microorganisms once transformed the toxic atmosphere of earth into the oxygen rich and life giving air that we breath today, and they can do it again.
Algae are a source of food, biofuel, bioplastic, fertilizer, and much more, but their most brilliant property is the incredible efficiency with which they capture and convert atmospheric carbon into oxygen through photosynthesis.
Brilliant Planet is on a mission to harness the incredible power of algae, and create the most efficient carbon sequestration ecosystem the world has ever seen.
For about 20 days out of the year, when the conditions are just right, algae enter the blooming phase, dividing rapidly, and in the process consuming 30x more carbon per unit of surface area than an equivalent amount of forest cover.
What if we could harness the incredible power of algae?
What if we could work with nature, and create the perfect
conditions to sustain the bloom year round?
What if we could scale down the ocean and create these
blooming conditions in the desert, powered entirely
by the sun and wind?
