Solving Global Challenges Through the Functions of Diverse Organisms, Starting with Microalgae
We harness the natural power of microalgae—with their photosynthetic efficiency and nutrient absorption capabilities—to develop sustainable solutions for global challenges such as climate change, water resource depletion, and food security.
Algal Bloom Capture and the foundational technologies that make it possible
A new form of CO₂ fixation technology that leverages the mass proliferation of microalgae to absorb CO₂ and nutrients. Utilizing natural biological processes to achieve efficient and sustainable carbon sequestration.
An optimization system combining algae libraries tailored to regional water quality, microalgae blends, IoT sensing, and AI cultivation control. Our proprietary technology platform enables high-efficiency algae cultivation.
Innovative solutions powered by the potential of microalgae
All-in-one unit for algal bloom control
An AI-controlled algae cultivation and supply system. Supporting two categories—aquaculture and water treatment—to achieve optimal algae management.
Remote Control & Real-time Monitoring
Remote monitoring and control of Bloomo units via cloud. Track operational status in real-time to ensure stable operation and reduce maintenance costs.
Sustainable materials derived from microalgae
Developing fertilizers and feed derived from microalgae, and carbon fixation materials from bivalve shells. Products with high environmental value, compatible with LCA evaluation.
Next-generation bio-adhesive
A next-generation adhesive inspired by the adhesive proteins of bivalves. Combining strong adhesion and biocompatibility, targeting applications in medical and bio fields.
Where Technology Meets Reality — Real-World Application Areas
A system that cultivates microalgae at high efficiency to stably supply high-quality live feed for aquaculture (shellfish, crustaceans, fish). AI and IoT sensing automatically optimize cultivation conditions.
Purifies eutrophicated water bodies while recovering nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter using the power of microalgae. Achieves a closed loop where recovered biomass is utilized as further resources.
A downstream process that converts algae biomass recovered during water purification into fertilizers, feed, and bio-materials. Minimizes environmental impact based on LCA evaluation.
Algae-based process improvement technology that can be integrated into existing sewage treatment plants. Simultaneously recovers carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus while improving treated water quality.
An R&D-focused startup protecting the Earth with the power of science
Harnessing algal blooms — nature's largest CO₂ absorption events — for decarbonization, water purification, and resource cycling. Restoring Planetary Boundaries through Algal Bloom Capture. • CO₂ Absorption: Absorbing CO₂ and producing O₂; carbon sequestration and credit generation • Water Purification: Removing nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater; also removing microplastics • Nitrogen Assimilation: Unlike conventional biofilters, NH₄⁺ is assimilated into amino acids for feed and more ※ Planetary Boundaries (climate change, biodiversity loss, nitrogen/phosphorus cycle disruption, freshwater use, plastic pollution) can be restored through carbon, water, and nitrogen cycle recovery.
