The basic carbon dioxide removal (CDR) use case is grow Ulva, a seaweed, capture carbon through the Ulva’s natural photosynthetic process, char it to make it stable and permanently store it.
There’s a genus of macroalgae called Ulva — you’d know it as sea lettuce. In optimal conditions, Ulva can grow at rates exceeding 40% per day, which means it doubles its mass every two days
To maintain the best growing conditions, Ulva must be grown in land-based tank systems — not in the open ocean where you’re at the mercy of the seasons, the storms, and the inevitably variable nutrition.
To achieve a scale that can capture a meaningful quantity of atmospheric CO2, ingredients from the harvested Ulva are used to make the tanks that the next generation of Ulva will be grown in.
