Redefining Air Quality Through Nature-Based Innovation
Carbelim’s vision is to redefine air quality in our cities through nature-based decarbonization technology. We strive to create a world where buildings and infrastructure double as living, breathing carbon sinks – actively purifying air and fighting climate change.
Our Mission: Transforming Cities into Carbon Sinks
Our mission is to deploy microalgae carbon sequestration innovations at scale, turning the concrete jungles of today into the green, climate-positive cities of tomorrow. We align our goals with global sustainability targets, focusing on cleaner air (SDG 3 – Good Health), sustainable cities (SDG 11), and climate action (SDG 13).
By leveraging nature’s most effective carbon capture method—microalgae—we address urban pollution and climate challenges simultaneously.
SDG 3
Good Health & Well-Being
SDG 11
Sustainable Cities
SDG 13
Climate Action
By 2035, Carbelim commits to enabling 1 million tons of durable CO2 removal, transforming waste streams into engineered biochar, and strengthening climate resilience for cities, industries, and agriculture.
