Liquid Trees is a company focused on natural climate solutions that promote carbon dioxide removal and improve river water quality through a microalgae-based technology. Their mission is to neutralize pollution in globally polluted rivers by increasing the growth of native beneficial microalgae, specifically diatoms. Diatoms are utilized for their ability to capture pollutants like fertilizers, heavy metals, and microplastics, as well as sequester carbon. The company employs advanced technologies, including satellite imagery, LiDAR, radar, and field plots, combined with machine learning models to estimate carbon stored in rivers and monitor microalgal bloom growth and water quality. Liquid Trees aims to restore river ecosystem services, promote biodiversity, and provide co-benefits such as oxygen release and eutrophication mitigation. They offer support for bioremediation and river-restoration projects, contributing to environmental stewardship, corporate social responsibility, and the creation of a greener future.
