Nellie develops bioengineered direct air carbon dioxide removal technologies that utilize proprietary biomass growth and processing methods to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. The captured carbon is then converted into biochar and biogenic aggregates, providing long-term carbon sequestration solutions to mitigate climate change impacts.

Problem
Current direct air carbon capture (DAC) technologies often face challenges in scalability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term carbon sequestration. Traditional methods may also have significant environmental footprints due to energy-intensive processes and reliance on non-renewable resources.
Solution
Nellie develops bioengineered direct air carbon dioxide removal (DAC) technologies that leverage proprietary biomass growth and processing methods to efficiently capture CO2 from the atmosphere. The captured carbon is converted into biochar and biogenic aggregates, providing durable and environmentally sound carbon sequestration. Nellie's approach utilizes photobioreactors with a unique, patent-pending set of ingredients and tools to rapidly grow biomass, which naturally removes carbon dioxide from the air. The harvested biomass is then processed and treated to ensure its suitability for long-term carbon dioxide sequestration. The resulting biogenic aggregate or biochar is integrated into agricultural and construction supply chains, ensuring carbon storage for over a thousand years.
Target Audience
Nellie's primary customers include organizations seeking high-quality carbon removal and sequestration solutions, such as companies aiming to achieve net-zero emissions, as well as partners in the agricultural and construction sectors looking for sustainable materials.
