Marine cyanobacteria for carbon capture from flue gas and for production of phycocyanin – a high value pigment

We have developed an Indian marine cyanobacterial strain to grow at high CO2 levels (10 – 20 % CO2 in air) and reaches high densities

• High sustainability and low freshwater use through the use of fast-growing marine cyanobacteria
• Value generation through co-production of a high-value pigment
• Residue after pigment extraction can be used for other applications such as biogas production and fermentation

The technology can be used by (i) Any company generating flue gases, (ii) Companies involved in pigment production and cosmetics applications of pigments

The chemicals required to prepare the medium components are cheap and easily-available
