Greenwater Scientific has developed the greenwaterHOME, an indoor air synthesizer that utilizes micro-algae to generate fresh oxygen and capture carbon dioxide, equivalent to the output of 75 plants. This technology addresses the issue of elevated indoor CO2 levels, which can lead to fatigue, reduced cognitive function, and overall health deterioration in environments where people spend most of their time.

Problem
Indoor environments often contain elevated levels of carbon dioxide due to poor ventilation, leading to fatigue, reduced cognitive function, and long-term health issues. Traditional methods of improving indoor air quality, such as standard air purifiers, do not address the imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Solution
Greenwater Scientific offers the greenwaterHOME, an indoor air synthesizer that uses micro-algae to generate fresh oxygen and capture carbon dioxide, mimicking the output of 75 plants. The system utilizes the natural process of photosynthesis to convert CO2 into breathable air, addressing the root cause of indoor air quality issues. In addition to CO2 capture and oxygen generation, the greenwaterHOME incorporates HEPA, carbon, and pre-filters to remove particulate matter and other airborne impurities, providing comprehensive air purification. Users simply plug in the device, add an algae culture to each bay, and replace the culture every three months for continuous air revitalization.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals and businesses concerned about indoor air quality, particularly those in urban environments, offices, and other spaces where people spend extended periods indoors.
