The pipeline

Every programme, with its stage.

Six stages, from discovery to commercialisation. A programme is listed at the stage it has reached, not the stage it is aiming for.

          Biological carbon capture and utilisation using algae.

          The problem
          CO₂ from industry and waste is released rather than put to use.
          Where we are
          Piloting algae cultivation fed with CO₂.
