Carbon Capture & Carbon Recycling

Turning Industrial Byproducts into Value

Industry produces a wide range of residual streams — from CO₂ in flue gas to organic byproducts like glycerol from omega-3 production, spent grains from brewing, and sugar residues from refining. These materials are often treated as waste, but they’re not inherently problematic. In fact, they can be valuable inputs that drive circular economy.

We aim to transform industrial byproducts into sustainable, high-value microalgal biomass for a range of industrial applications—demonstrating that carbon capture and carbon recycling are profitable, while reducing environmental impact.

OUR GOAL

How to:

At Arctic Algae, we work with what industry already produces. Our microalgae systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing operations, using these side streams to cultivate high-value biomass. Whether it’s CO₂ used to stabilize pH in our photobioreactors, or organic-rich byproducts that directly feed algal growth, we turn residuals into resources.

The process:

The algae we grow are rich in proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and bioactive compounds — versatile building blocks for products like aquaculture feed, nutraceuticals, biofuels, and renewable materials. By aligning industrial outputs with biological inputs, we create a regenerative loop where waste becomes value.

Industrial Benefit:

There’s real value in what many industries currently throw away. By rethinking how residual streams are handled — whether it’s emissions or organic byproducts — companies can shift from disposal to reuse. These materials don’t have to be a cost; they can become part of a new value chain. Supporting cleaner production isn’t just good for the environment — it opens the door to new products, partnerships, and revenue.

Our 1200 L photobioreactor is ready to work with the outputs of your facility. Whether it’s CO₂ or organic residues, we’re building a system where industrial byproducts become an industrial resource.

We’re exploring how industrial side streams — including CO₂ and organic byproducts — can be transformed into valuable algal biomass. It’s a new way to think about residuals: not as waste, but as a starting point for circular growth. If you’re interested in being part of this transformation or want to learn more, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at post@arctic-algae.no or in the link below.
