Integrated Direct Air Capture and Microalgae Cultivation for Circular Carbon Utilisation

PI at Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research (IOLR)

Eilat, Israel

About

We are developing an integrated approach combining direct air capture (DAC), renewable energy and marine microalgae cultivation for sustainable carbon utilisation and production of valuable algal biomass.

Our ongoing pilot development includes a multi-cubic-metre photobioreactor platform, controlled CO2 delivery and cultivation optimization under different carbon enrichment conditions. The concept offers opportunities to evaluate carbon utilisation efficiency, energy demand, productivity and economic feasibility.

We seek European partners with expertise in DAC, CO2 separation, renewable energy integration, process engineering, automation, techno-economic analysis, life-cycle assessment and industrial algae applications.

Proposed role: Research and pilot demonstration partner, contributing algal cultivation, physiological assessment and biological validation. We are open to joining an existing consortium or jointly developing a proposal.
