A scaled impact
Design to capture CO2 and reduce emissions. Create co-benefits to support communities and parallel climate-friendly ventures
Countries
We seek to build clusters of Equil facilities across the Middle East, Southern Africa, India and Australia and aim for a total reduction of 200 million tonnes/CO2e/annum.
With increasing demand for sustainable protein, carbon removal and jobs creation, Equil's approach is ideal for markets looking to improve supply security in critical areas and to expand their skills base.

Co-benefits
Reducing CO2 levels in the ocean allows us to combat ocean acidification
A Global South focus supports jobs, learning and partner industries in countries which desperately need to build a low carbon future
Aquaculture, in particular, is supported with onshore seaweed cultivation given carbonate-related synergies with both shellfish and fin-fish farming. Safe and productive fishing for a new generation
This is just the start
As a community of technologists and licensees, we will become the world's largest seaweed producing group. As we learn and grow, we will collaborate with technology vendors and local stakeholders to raise system efficiency and impact
Tackling climate change requires speed and partnerships. So why not take advantage of the high polysaccharides content of seaweed to make bio-plastics ?
