Our Vision

---

Nearly all existing carbon capture solutions require large amounts of land, water, and energy contributing to cost and scalability challenges. Microorganisms offer advantages by allowing nature to do the hard work more efficiently and with lower resource demand. Based in Arizona, we further take advantage of green energy availability and carefully track our net output.

 Although small, microorganisms pack a powerful punch. They are responsible for 20-50% the oxygen we breathe and have evolved a dazzling diversity of functions that have enabled them to adapt to nearly every environment on earth. At Airobes, we follow Nature's lead and expand on a harmonious niche already present on Earth.

By leveraging a particular group of robust light-harvesting microorganisms and engineering across disciplines, we expand our infrastructure beyond traditional bioreactors - emphasizing efficiency and carbon tractability.  Relying on principles of mass balance, rather than genetic engineering, we can more quickly meet the growing needs for the treatment of CO2. 

Biology-based approaches for carbon removal are readily scalable with increasing batch sizes. To leverage this natural advantage, we are concurrently developing the necessary infrastructure to accelerate our impact. Boasting a  diverse team of technical experts and engineers, Airobes aims to refine and scale our solution in lockstep with achieved milestones.

By leveraging the natural metabolic pathways of specific microorganisms, we can go beyond the capture and storage of carbon, giving it new life by generating useful products. Excitingly, our target output is commonly produced by industrial processes that release carbon into the atmosphere - providing a secondary means to reduce the anthropogenic carbon footprint.

We strive to be visible. We want the community to feel proud of the human effort for change and optimistic about the environmental health of our planet and its sustainability for future generations.  We would love the opportunity to engage with any community to share more about our vision and how we are working to achieve it.
