Biomass better.
Unlocking sustainable opportunities with azolla.
Azolla Works uses the fast-growing Azolla plant to drive sustainable solutions for carbon capture and biomass innovation, tackling environmental challenges with scalable, nature-based technology.
What is Azolla?
Azolla is a floating aquatic fern that thrives in nutrient-rich water. It has a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, enabling it to grow rapidly and absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide.
By harnessing azolla’s power, we capture CO2 to enrich soil as a sustainable solution.
-
Azolla excels at absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, leveraging its unique capability to sequester substantial amounts of this greenhouse gas, thus playing a crucial role in mitigating climate change impacts globally.
-
Azolla’s remarkable ability to double its biomass in just a few days under optimal conditions highlights its exceptional rapid growth rate, making it one of the fastest-growing plants known.
-
Azolla Works uses the resultant biomass as feedstock in our slow-pyrolysis continuous-flow reactor to create biochar in a self-sustaining, energy-generating reaction.
Applications.
AzollaChar
Returns regenerative capacity to farm soils.
By creating an organic scaffolding for the flourishing of subterranean microflora, adding microporosity for increased water absorption, and reducing the need for additional soil amendments, AzollaChar aims to be a valuable tool for farmers seeking outsized production gains and positive environmental impact.
Agriculture.
CO2 Capture and Credits
Using azolla to capture CO2, we generate verified carbon credits.
Azolla’s ability to absorb substantial amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere allows us to create valuable carbon credits. These credits can be sold to organizations aiming to offset their carbon emissions, providing a financial incentive for sustainable practices.
The demand for carbon credits is rapidly increasing as companies and governments worldwide strive to meet their climate goals. This trend is expected to continue, driven by stricter regulations and a growing commitment to sustainability.
Organizations like Amazon and Microsoft have pledged to reduce their carbon footprints, creating a significant market for carbon credits. According to BloombergNEF, restoring trust in carbon credits could lead to companies purchasing billions of carbon credits annually, potentially elevating prices to over $200 per ton and building a market valued at over $1 trillion annually by 2050.
Carbon
Capture.
Global demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15 or more by 2030 and by a factor of up to 100 by 2050. Overall, the market for carbon credits could be worth upward of $50 billion in 2030.
