decarbonisation

accelerated through deep sea biofacturing

The answer to global scale decarbonisation lies 2000 m under the sea level and in the genetic code of algae, which evolved over millions of years of evolution.

The oceans contain about 50 times more CO2 than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere.

CO2 moves between the atmosphere and the ocean by molecular diffusion when there is a difference between CO2 gas pressure (pCO2 ) between the atmosphere and oceans. For example, when the atmospheric pCO2 is higher than the surface ocean, CO2 diffuses across the air-sea boundary into the sea water.

Deep sea algae farming will disrupt the decarbonisation challenge and deliver solutions for tomorrow’s demand for food and functional ingredients for the personal care and chemical industry. Biofacturing of fatty acids and other chemicals in 2000 m dept of oceans will not waste additional land resources on our planet. Futuristic submerged domes will deliver an unusual high pressure system where carbon capturing can be done efficient and environmentally friendly.

Driven by ocean energy, light sources will deliver the required specific wave length for algae to convert high concentration of CO2 via photosynthesis into useful chemicals, lipids for food, personal and health care industry.

The tremendous air/water interface of 510 million km2 will replenish the CO2 converted in the biofacturing facilities located at deep under the ocean surface. Air will over time reduce its CO2 content through these natural equilibriums.

Lipid filled algae cells will release the oil and functional chemicals on the way up to the surface through the high internal osmotic pressure. An edible oil capturing and pre-processing facility on a floating platform will deliver an environmentally friendly and sustainable feedstock to the global population.

As of January 2007, the earth’s atmospheric CO2 concentration is about 0.0383% by volume (383 ppmv) or 0.0582% by weight. This represents about 2.996×1012 tonnes, and is estimated to be 105 ppm (37.77%) above the pre-industrial average.

It is estimated that the total mass of CO2 in the atmosphere is 3×10 18 tonnes.

From year 1750 to 1960, additional 250 000 million tonnes CO2, or at the rate of 1190.48 million tonnes per year are added into atmosphere.

From year 1960 to 2007, another 570 000 million tonnes of CO2 are dumped into atmosphere, at much higher rate: 12127.7 million tonnes per year, which is about 10 times faster than the previous 2 centuries!

The OceanQuest scientific and engineering team has the vision that the growing global energy, food and chemicals needs while decarbonising these global industry sectors is achievable.

At OceanQuest the large-scale production of energy, food and chemical raw materials in a sustainable and decarbonising manner is not a contradiction – in fact it is the opposite.

Decarbonisation and sustainability are the foundation of our supply chain.

The OceanQuest Team believes in innovation, entrepreneurship and feasibility.

Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing humankind. Mitigating climate change will require a suite of actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon capture and storage is a new technology aimed at mitigating climate change by capturing and storing carbon dioxide.

OceanQuest is a science inspired futuristic project, which will disrupt. The innovation will change the global approach on how CO2 capturing and storage will be done an a global scale. We invite all open and brilliant minds to work hand in hand with our innovation team.

CO2 absorption of Algae
On average, around 1 kg of CO2 is removed for every 0.5 kg of Algae. Algae can absorb more carbon dioxide than trees due to their faster growth rate and their larger bioactive surface area.

Growth rate of Algae
Algae have a comparatively low average doubling rate of 26 hours, with some algae strains even doubling every 2 – 3 hours. Given the right environment, 1 kg of algae can grow into more than 84 kg in just one week or much more.

Nutrients of Algae
Algae are extremely nutrient dense and depending on the species contain up to 77% of vegetable oil and up to 70% of proteins with a full amino acid spectrum and alongside various vitamins.

Ocean energy will be delivering energy platform for the delivery of light into the deep ocean to accelerate the photosynthesis process of the algae. At this stage all energy derived from the sea is being considered

• tidal
• ocean thermal

As climate change looms over our future, Inventa is turning to biology for solutions to make aspects of our lives more sustainable for the environment. Our team of experts is rising to the challenge.

When developing more sustainable materials and processes, biotechnology draws from millions of years of evolution in which living beings have specialized in producing and recycling all kinds of compounds and materials. Algae processes can be deployed to capture, convert and also store CO2, allowing us to efficiently address climate change with lower pollution, land, and energy use.

Everything seems impossible until someone has done it. OceanQuest accepts the challenge and turns the biggest threat of this century into an extraordinary opportunity for all humankind.

OceanQuest is a once in a lifetime investment opportunity and the time is now. We will decarbonize the atmosphere and turn it into useful products that will help to meet the growing demands of the globe’s population.

Other companies’ emissions are the very beginning of our supply chain and our long and exciting journey is just getting started.
