Technologies for a
Sustainable Future
Algae encompasses a large and varied group of autotrophic, photosynthetic organisms most of
which have a very simple structure. They occur as single-cells, multi-cells or also as giant kelps.
Fertilizer Microalgae is incredibly efficient at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, about 150 to
200 times more than trees.
Pollution
Food
Control
Algae-powered innovations are already happening in many ways, and they are worth giving
a look to imagine how our future can become more sustainable with the new “green gold”.
KEY Environmental Applications of
Algae Algae as Health Food Supplement
Algae-Powered Vehicles
• Algae as a Biofuel
• Algae for Wastewater Treatment
• Photobioreactor or Algae Bioreactor
• Eco-friendly Applications
Algae-Powered Buildings

Algae Furnishings

Conclusion Algae is highly beneficial in terms of its general usage as well as environmental
applications. The days are not far away when we will live in buildings that will be beautifully enclosed in
photosynthetic membranes and vertical gardens, harvesting solar energy, producing bioproducts and food
for city dwellers. Imagine algae systems that recycles waste into fuel, animal food and bio-fertilizers.
