Marcelo Deriu's Company Details
Carbon BioCapture LLC ("CBC"), a minority, woman-owned company based in Miami, capitalizes on Clean Energy ESB S.A.'s patented technology and pioneering work with flue gases from AES' coal-burning power plant in Chile and Argos' cement plant in Colombia by developing, building, deploying, and operating point-source carbon capture farms that convert anthropogenic CO2 into microalgae biomass.CBC's unique microalgae management system and proprietary PBR design combined, achieve a well-documented and independently verified 86% capture effectiveness at a 13% CO2 feed gas content. In addition to CO2, the microalgae capture nearly 100% of ppm range contaminants such SOx and NOx. Photosynthesis generates oxygen, which is continuously liberated into the atmosphere, and biomass, which is regularly harvested by partially draining the PBRs, which are then replenished with fresh-, salt-, or brackish water.As a bonus, water-borne pollutants are also sequestered by the microalgae, which can help to decontaminate process water run through the PBRs.CBC provides carbon capture as a service ("CCaaS") to GHG-emitting industries. It can currently deploy 12.500 PBR per hectare (ha). These high-density PBR arrays constitute a literal "carbon capture farm" and can be sited on contaminated or otherwise unproductive land adjacent to or within the CO2 emitting plant's premises.
