from This is CDR · host OpenAir
In this episode OpenAir is pleased to welcome Brilliant Planet Founder and Chief Scientist Dr. Raffael Jovine who discusses how the company unlocks the power of algae as an affordable method of durably and quantifiably sequestering carbon at gigatonne scale. The company’s innovative process enables vast quantities of microalgae to grow in open-air pond-based systems on coastal desert land. This is achieved without using fresh water, by harnessing a natural process that contributes to the health of oceans and air.
