Our urban farming technology

99% of spirulina is produced in shallow ponds (~30cm deep, hundreds of ha large). We have developed a new and unique approach to cultivating spirulina – a technology that is: 

  1. 20x cheaper than similar indoor glass tube PBR
  2. 5x less land space needed, additionally, a multi-floor building can multiply this several times. 10m3 of PRB needs 20m2 of land incl a harvesting path. 
  3. 3x less energy needed due to innovative lighting solution 
  4. 3x less water and minerals needed than in an open pond system 
  5. 2-3x higher yield of the day because the system is independent of climate, weather, and daylight length (optimal illumination for 16 h instead of 12h and overexposure in midday) 
  6. 2x longer season – non-stop production 12 months a yea
 

PREMIUM quality – Closed system for contamination prevention 

Excellent system for urban areas or complicated relief spots as land in the EU is expensive and EU citizens expect the lower impact on ecology and higher traceability of production. This system offers locally produced spirulina with low environmental impact and high nutrition value. Each produced ton of spirulina captures 0.7 t of CO2 and serves as an oxygen production site. That is especially important for crowded cities with a low green area ratio. 

We grow in the North, closer to you, to ensure a fresher product and less transportation caused pollution in the world.
