Green Genie: Carbon capture with the magic of algae

Green Genie is a modular "plug and play" unit that can fit into a standard six-metre shipping container for direct air carbon capture, wastewater treatment and algae biomass production that is affordable, effective, fast, and scalable.

Microalgae is 40 times more efficient than trees at removing carbon from the atmosphere. Scientists and engineers have been working to overcome the main technical challenges of turning this into carbon capture technology at scale.

Green Genie packs a huge amount of surface area into the platform enabling the pumping of additional carbon dioxide and illumination to encourage photosynthesis.

Green Genie is an exciting emerging technology. Developed by researchers at the University of Technology Sydney, Green Genie is currently open to industry partners and investors to develop and prototype. It has been validated at technology readiness level 5.
