![]() ![]() The initial megaton project will capture and sequester 12 million metric tons per year, 1 million tons in polymer products and 11 million tons in rainforest regrowth. Second, the rainforest regrowth will capture carbon dioxide and store it in both above ground and below ground biomass.First, the algae cultivation directly captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and a portion of the algal oil is converted into polymer products for long-term sequestration of the carbon.The project sequesters carbon dioxide in two ways. The algae farm offers an opportunity not just provide food but also generate cash flow while simultaneously tackle global issues like climate change – all without damaging the environment or sacrificing any wildlife. With a 6-fold increase of revenue coming into the community due to their renewable, sustainable source that generates both oil and protein this project will create higher paying jobs. The particular Global Algae project includes buying land in South America currently used for protein production, allowing the rainforest to regrow on most of the land, and growing algae on a small portion such that the total protein production is the same as could be produced from all of the land with conventional crops. ![]() Each acre of algae can produce protein equivalent to 17 acres of soy and vegetable oil equivalent to 8 acres of palm, so 25 times less land is required for production of these important commodities. ![]()
