Brilliant Planet uses algae to remove carbon from the atmosphere on a large scale. They grow microalgae in open-air ponds in coastal deserts, without using fresh water. This process replicates natural ocean blooms year-round, sequestering carbon at gigaton scale. Operating in deserts brings economic opportunities and doesn't disrupt other land uses. They research effective local algae strains without genetic modification. Brilliant Planet aims to develop a scalable production platform for global deployment.
