We are excited to announce that our Atmospherica team successfully demonstrated the entire cycle of our technology: We cultured microalgae in full-scale greenhouse, harvested calcium carbonate, and created high-quality cement that uses our biologically produced calcium carbonate!
It was fun to chat with KOLD13 reporter Carsyn Currier about Atmospherica’s work and plans! Watch the news coverage via their archive through the link below.
Excellent report on Atmospherica by Ryan Fish on KGUN9 on April 27, 2022. Check out the video for a short summary of our project.
An excellent article by Mikayla Mace Kelley from UA News on our team’s work on using a scalable biotechnology solution to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide. Read about how we combine astrobiology, biosystems engineering, and ecology for a novel approach to mitigating a global challenge.
Small but mighty: How UArizona professors are harnessing the power of algae to capture carbon
We are excited to learn that XPRIZE selected our Atmospherica team as one of the qualified teams of the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition! Of the 1,133 teams who registered for the competition, only 287 qualified with a complete submission. We are looking forward to learning about the excellent ideas of the winners and all the teams on Earth Day 2022!
Our Atmospherica team visited Heliae, a Phoenix-based company with extensive experience in developing and scaling microbial-based solutions to commercial scale. Our teams share a passion for solving global challenges via scalable methods.
