About the Microalgae Road Map

Beginning in June 2022 and extending through February 2023, Ocean Visions worked with experts from multiple disciplines, sectors, and geographies to identify the state of technology, carbon removal potential, environmental and social impacts, knowledge gaps, and first-order priorities around microalgae-based approaches for carbon dioxide removal. Importantly, this map identifies commonalities and differences across microalgae pathways to spur innovation and adoption of ideas across disciplines.

Through these road maps, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, and others will be able to collaborate across the globe on specific challenges and opportunities related to technology development, field testing, governance, finance, and public support for microalgae-based CDR—all grounded in an evidence-based, precautionary approach.

Participants

This road map was created with collaboration and input from 77 individuals in 11 countries comprising an international group of scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, policy-analysts, and social-scientists. Participants attended workshops, provided comments on early written drafts, and provided counsel to Ocean Visions as we developed this road map.
