Greengine is a cleantech startup that develops modular, microalgae-based carbon capture technology. It enables industrial clients to capture CO2 emissions and convert them into valuable algal biomass for a circular, revenue-generating model.
Greengine Environmental Technologies Private Limited is a clean technology startup that develops modular, high-efficiency carbon capture systems based on microalgae bioreactors. The technology operates by capturing CO2 emissions from point-source industrial flue gas or directly from the ambient air, utilizing the natural process of photosynthesis to convert inorganic carbon into organic algal biomass. This engineering-led approach is designed to be scalable and adaptable across various industrial environments, ranging from mid-sized factories to large refineries. By transforming captured emissions into valuable biomass, the company aims to offer a circular model that turns carbon capture into a revenue-generating asset rather than a regulatory compliance cost.
This solution serves industrial clients looking to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve net-zero goals by providing a pathway to repurpose emissions into feedstocks for bioenergy, biomaterials, nutraceuticals, and other products. The company has utilized its proximity to industrial hubs and research institutions in Kanpur to conduct pilot projects, including collaborations with organizations such as Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Engineers India Limited (EIL). Through these engagements, Greengine focuses on overcoming industrial constraints to provide robust, impact-oriented sustainability solutions for India's emerging bio-economy.
