Clean the Planet | Feed the World

SOLVING IMPORTANT PROBLEMS

REMEDi!ATE’s mission is to help solve not one but

two of the biggest problems the world is facing:

Ridding the world of CO2
(which contributes to global overheating)

and

Feeding the world
(because the population is increasing so fast)

Politicians have put forward all sorts of plans to

save the world:

All involve higher taxes

All involve restrictions on what people can do

and what they can eat

All have the same flaw that every political plan has:

they won’t work!

The answer is to appeal to the profit motives of

the emitters and those destroying our forests

REMEDi!ATE can do this by enabling emitters

to swap a $500 billion

carbon tax liability for a $2.5 trillion revenue

opportunity in animal feed

THE ECONOMICS

CO2 emissions are out of control

One way or another, we generate over 36 billion Tonnes of Green House Gases globally every year..... and it’s rising

20 billion Tonnes come from power generation and industrial processes

More than 6 billion Tonnes are generated in Europe

Emitters face escalating social, political, environmental and regulatory pressures to ACT

Emitters are being punished with a carbon tax fine of $40/Tonne which will rise to $100/Tonne by 2025, but still they pollute!

Doing NOTHING is no longer an option

Extinction Rebellion demands that we stop generating power and cease manufacturing

Well, that’s one way!

There is another.....

FOOD SECURITY

The world can no longer feed itself

Whilst half the world is agonising over climate change, the other half have a far more immediate problem

The world’s population is expected to increase by an additional 2 billion by 2050

That means that, in the next four decades, we have to produce more food than all the farmers in history have ever harvested over the past 8,000 years

It won’t just happen!

It’s pointless leaving it to politicians because, if we do that, we’ll pay a lot of taxes, but we’ll still starve

We need a massive increase in new sustainable sources of feed

Chopping down tropical rain forests to make way for soya bean plantations is not the answer

We need an alternative source

But where will this come from?

Well it's already here

It's Algae

THE SOLUTION

Algae: Nature’s Rockstars!

Algae created the world in which we live

For billions-of-years, nature has been growing algae, using light to naturally convert CO2 into oxygen and feed

In fact, every Tonne of algae consumes 2 Tonnes of CO2

Algae are versatile. Algae are everywhere. Algae are diverse

‘Millions’ of algae species exist. We just don’t know how many

Each species has its own specialism. All with the ability to consume CO2

All with their own unique combination of high-value proteins, oils and carbohydrates

They can be used for many things

One use is as animal feed

And we’re going to need it!

Sounds simple? It is

Algae is a natural predator of CO2

TECHNOLOGY

Our technology accelerates Nature

Algae took 4 billion years to do its job first time around

They had the whole planet in which to play

We don’t have the time and space to do it this time around

Nature needs a helping hand

Our technology does just that

We give algae the optimum growth conditions where they can grow 100 times faster than in nature

Using patented photon technology and highly specialized processes, an installation can remove 100,000 Tonnes of CO2 per year - all in the space of a football pitch

We’ll also get rid of other damaging Green House Gases such as SOx and NOx too!

Our technology is modular, scaleable and plug and play with emitters' existing installations

OUR LEGACY

Our forests, our nature

If we manage to achieve only a fraction of our potential, we will have made a significant impact on handling the world's Green House Gas emissions

The fundamental shift is in treating CO2 as a resource to be exploited

A resource to be harvested

A resource to create millions of Tonnes of high-value, protein-rich animal feed

A resource so abundant that soya bean production will soon no longer be viable

And when it no longer makes financial sense to clear swathes of rainforest, people will stop

Financial motivation, not moral outrage, will be instrumental in changing behavior

ANIMAL FEED

Algae feeds the world

Algae is a rich source of proteins, carbohydrates and oils

It is the ideal source of animal feed - but one that is not widely deployed in the supply chain

Adopting any new source of feed could involve changes in receiving, processing, formulating, marketing and distribution - all of which needs careful planning over several years

Over the next three years, REMEDi!ATE will have around 20 million Tonnes of algae ready to be made into animal feed

It will take time

So REMEDi!ATE is working with feed providers today to ensure the transitionn happens smoothly
