It started in 2003 with a question:

​

what if we could use the technology in nature
to turn greenhouse gas into high-value materials?

For the next 10 years,
we worked to answer that question.

Our first objective:
make it scalable.

​Early on, we discovered that microorganisms from the ocean use air and greenhouse gas to make a material every day called PHB: 

a meltable energy storage material that can be used to replace things like plastic and leather.

The problem was: the technology did not yet exist to make this process viable on land.

Over time, we built,

we struggled...and we learned.

​

With incremental progress, we discovered how

to make the technology work.

Along the way, as we saw greenhouse gas transformed into a beautiful material, certain things became evident:

​

-------->

After 10 years of research, a new material was born.

​

We call it AirCarbon.

​In August 2013, we ran the technology
at large scale for the first time:

​

using microorganisms from the ocean to make PHB from 

air and methane-based greenhouse gas dissolved in saltwater.

​Our mission now:

​

change at scale.

Our vision is to harness greenhouse gas as a resource to create AirCarbon at global scale 

to help solve plastics pollution and climate change.

To achieve this, we have assembled an extraordinary group of people:

​

people who believe things can and must change.

Our people.

Our code.
