Microalgae are among the earliest life forms on Earth, first appearing in the oceans about 3 billion years ago.
These tiny, single-celled organisms contain chlorophyll, reproduce through division,
and—like plants—use photosynthesis to capture
carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen.
In fact, microalgae are responsible for producing about 55% of the oxygen on Earth, and they store nearly twice their weight in carbon.
By harnessing microalgae, we can raise oxygen levels in the air while reducing carbon concentrations.
