The world’s largest algae farm; Natural weapon against climate change

Brilliant Planet, an active participation in the renewable energy field, runs an area of ​​1.5 m 2 in the coastal desert of Morocco, where the world’s largest algae is located. Using natural processes, the center absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converts to biodegraded and oxygen. (Yanko Design)

Algae have been known for centuries as a valuable food and medicinal source; But on a larger scale, their controlled breeding in open environments can absorb a huge volume of carbon dioxide. According to company executives, this method allows carbon storage at Gigatone at a much lower cost than conventional air absorption technologies.

The Berilant Plant project began in year 2 with a three -meter test basin in South Africa. Over a decade, the project has been developed to current facilities in Morocco and has reached the test stage. Company executives have announced that the first business unit of the technology will be launched by year 5.

The main difference between the Plant Brythont and the conventional algae is in its completely natural nature. Instead of using seawater or direct injection of carbon dioxide, the system uses a small scales of the ocean, natural nutrients and carbon dioxide in the region. In addition to absorbing carbon, this process helps reduce water acidity, improve local ecosystem and reduce costs.

In the ocean, the flourishing of algae occurs seasonally; But this technology has made it possible to grow algae throughout the year. The result is faster and cheaper carbon absorption than direct air absorption plants. The five -year success of the Moroccan experimental site paves the way for the construction of larger theater units and the commercial development of this technology.
