Resetting climate change using algae
40.000.000.000
Tonnes of CO2 needs to be removed from the atmosphere, annually.
At Arbon, we remove C.
How our deep tech works
-
Binding carbon
We help reset climate change by removing carbon from the atmosphere and binding it to the deep seabed. This is made possible by long research in marine biology, satellite tech and using natural biomasse; fastgrowing bamboo and specific algae with very fast growth rate. The algae is cultivated on thin ropes.

Removing carbon from the atmosphere
The algae grows offshore in the great ocean and it is kept afloat for a controlled period of time. After the algae is fully grown it sinks to the seabed, binding its carbon for eons. We call the product Oceanpod.
-
Scale and create impact
Portable algae nurseries can be placed at appropriate sites around the world. This allows us to sell the production, with each Oceanpod binding a known amount of carbon to the seabed.
The Oceanpod
The product consists of two parts: one part that keeps the Oceanpod floating, with the lifting force decreasing over time to ensure that it eventually sinks fast to the bottom of the ocean. A second part consisting of a biodegradable rope on which the algae grows… lots of it. The patent pending Oceanpod will be standardised, cheap to license, and easy to manufacture to facilitate globally distributed mass production as well as trade.
How big impact?
This carbon sequestration is a natural method and can be scaled up substantially. The world's oceans have already handled biomasse falls to the seabed for millions of years. How big impact we make simply depends on the people willing to contribute to resetting climate change.
Carbon Capture and Fish nursery
Arbon grows kelp on Oceanpods offshore and simultaneously create fish nurseries.
