Food-grade microalgae production using high-purity CO2 restored from wineries
About MicroAlgae
Vision is to provide a healthy local experience for companies and individuals with healthy, safe, and delicious produce locally grown and benefits the local community and the world.
Mission is to tackle climate change and CO2 emissions in a tangible way and make great use of this CO2 by producing microalgae out of it
Our values are the essence of our identity. At MicroAlgae Production Tech, we are consciously fostering a corporate culture in which our core values are deeply ingrained in our character and serve as a compass to guide our decision-making and business-building processes. They represent our mandates and the source of MicroAlgae Production Tech’s drive and distinctiveness, thoughtfully weaved into our organizational fabric to influence how we think, work, and act.

Problems We Work On
53,000 tons of CO2 Emissions
Produced by 60M litres of wine/year in Canada.
Food-Grade Microalgae Production
Only organic material can be used for food grade production
Potential Carbon Tax Bill
2019 $20/ton = $218,034 tax
2022 $50/ton = $546,000 tax
Reduction of CO2 Emission
Is one of the major goals of the Paris Agreement to counterbalance the global warming issue.
Carbon Footprint
300K liters of wine/year = 10,920 tons of Co2
17% percent of wine’s carbon footprint is fermentation alone
Solution
- Re-use the winery CO2 to produce food-grade microalgae
- The stored CO2 from the fermentation process is fed into an engineered tubular photobioreactor for algae production.
- The process allows for endless potential in food & drug applications.
What is Microalgae?
Composed of lipids (7–23%), proteins (6–52%), and carbohydrates (5–23%),
Chemical compositions of microalgae varies over a wide range of factors depending on species and on cultivation conditions.
Microalgae can be used to produce a wide range of metabolites.
Its photosynthetic efficiency is 10 times higher than terrestrial plants, achieving higher growth rates and biomass productivities.
How It Works
Step 1- Our Carbon Capture
- CO2 collection system
- Directly installed fermentation tanks
- Gas capture through pumps
- Automatic recovery
- Purification through activated carbon filters
- Compressed to 18 bar
- Stored in special high-pressure containers
- Simple distribution system
- Channels the CO2 to the photobioreactors
Step 2- Our Microalgae Cultivation
Carbon Capture Technology
- High grade CO2
- Purity of winery CO2 is very similar to the food-grade CO2 coded as E290.
- Carbon nutrients are 25-30% of microalgae production costs
- Efficient extraction methods save money
- Correct use of fermentation CO2 increases revenue Improves the process eco-sustainability.
Microalgae Cultivation
- Benefits of a closed system
- Less Contamination
- Smaller Footprint
- Less water loss
- Higher Yield
- Tubular photobioreactor is more efficient
