Arctic CaptureGenetically engineering cyanobacteria for carbon capture.

We genetically engineer bacteria to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. We are applying CRISPR to a novel form of bacteria to create the most accessible and scalable high-quality credit. We use advanced robotics to harvest the bacteria in a cost-efficient manner before preparing them for long-term storage to safely store away the carbon for millions of years. Climate change is a present reality not a future; we need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at scale as fast as possible to help reverse it.

More About Arctic Capture

Arctic Capture: Revolutionizing Carbon Sequestration

Addressing the world's largest problem, at its smallest scale.

Key Features

  • Genetically engineered bacteria for carbon capture
  • Advanced robotic systems for high-throughput filtration
  • Permanent carbon storage solutions
  • Scalable and cost-effective compared to traditional DAC methods
  • Utilizes CRISPR-cas12a system for enhanced efficiency

Use Cases

  • Industrial carbon emission reduction
  • Environmental sustainability projects
