- Macrocarbon, based in Gran Canaria, aims to grow seaweeds on a large scale for two main purposes: creating bio-based products for the chemical industry, like bionaphtha, and producing biochar for carbon sequestration. Our unique method covers the entire process from seaweed farming to final products. We plan to use a biorefinery method to extract valuable substances from the seaweed before turning it into biofuels and biochar through pyrolysis. To reduce transport costs, we want to process the seaweed near the farm, either on a boat or platform. This integrated system is designed to support a global, seaweed-based, sustainable bioeconomy, helping to replace fossil fuels and combat climate change.

MacroCarbon is a company founded in Gran Canaria to develop a supply chain to grow floating seaweeds at scale to produce bio-based inputs (eg. bionaphtha) for the chemical industry and biochar for permanent carbon sequestration. Our approach is unique since it integrates the entire value chain from aquafarming to products. We will use a biorefinery approach to extract high value products from the seaweed before processing it through pyrolysis for biofuels and biochar. We aim to have the processing plant on a boat or platform close to the aquafarm to avoid costly transport of the wet seaweed biomass. This way we will develop an integrated supply chain that will enable a global role out of a seaweed based circular blue bioeconomy that significantly contributes to de-fossilization of our current system and helps mitigate climate change.

MAGMA's ongoing project is at the forefront of sustainable, land-based macroalgae cultivation, focusing on species such as Ulva sp and Palmaria palmata. Positioned at the confluence of cutting-edge aquaculture technology and environmental conservation, our initiative aims to produce high-quality, traceable, and standardized algae biomass. A key aspect of our project is offering a scalable solution to seafarers who already possess infrastructure, such as oyster ponds, enabling them to diversify and enhance their operations sustainably. This approach not only aligns with the urgent need for sustainable practices within the blue economy but also promotes biodiversity, minimizes environmental impacts, and satisfies the growing demand for algae in food and nutraceutical sectors. By adopting advanced cultivation methods, MAGMA is redefining the utilization of marine resources, fostering a healthier planet, and bolstering a more resilient blue economy.

With this project, we aim to conduct a small-scale pilot using our newly developed marine biofuel, Bloom E. This is our residual-grade biofuel that can be used as a drop-in solution in ocean-going vessels. The project aims to showcase Bloom E's exceptionally high CO2 saving potential, which is crucial for FuelEU Maritime compliance.
