Cohort 2023: Gigablue

Gigablue

Gigablue are on a mission to combat global warming through pioneering enhanced technology to improve the efficiency and viability of the biological pump as a means of carbon dioxide removal, addressing climate change at its roots for a sustainable future.

The Problem 

The escalating crisis of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere, largely accumulated over the last century due to industrial activities and unsustainable practices, is drastically altering Earth’s ecosystems. This situation necessitates a shift from mere pollution reduction to implementing effective negative emission solutions. We stand as the last generation capable of reversing the environmental damage since the Industrial Revolution, facing a crucial moment where immediate action is vital to mitigate and reverse climate change’s impacts for future generations.

The Solution 

GigaBlue’s mCDR technology is a game-changer in the fight against climate change, providing an environmentally friendly, affordable solution that scales carbon dioxide removal to unprecedented levels. Through a unique geo-targeted particle that stimulates phytoplankton growth for carbon fixation, and a controlled gravity core for deep ocean sequestration, GigaBlue leads the charge in nature-inspired, scalable, and cost-effective carbon capture methods.

Gigablue’s Impact

GigaBlue has achieved significant strides in environmental technology, evidenced by multiple statements of maturity, reducing technology risks. Their innovative approach has garnered considerable customer interest and led to interest from leading buyers.
