The Flue Gas Delivery (TurboChill)
- Designed to increase pressure (0.2bar → 3 bar) and lower temperature (>200C → 40C) without requiring additional energy or utilities
- Verdygen’s TurboChillTM is a proprietary system that boosts pressure and lowers temperature using minimal energy. This system is live and running on a few offshore platforms, assisting oil and gas companies reduce waste and emissions.

The Capture
We understand power plants and factories may need to operate 24/7—the AlgaeBloom system is designed to operate just the same. We ensure 70-90% of CO2 is captured and ready for algae cultivation.
The Utilisation (AlgaeBloom)
Microalgae only grow during daylight hours. The CO2 captured is fed to the microalgae photobio reactor via an enriched liquid—this is where Verdygen’s AlgaeBloom system outshines typical systems: It only uses ¼ the typical land size required by systems of similar capacity!
Algae is a powerhouse for carbon capture, absorbing CO2 more efficiently than trees. Its rapid growth rate and high protein content make it incredibly versatile, with applications in nutritional supplements, livestock feed, biofuels, and bioplastics. This sustainable solution not only reduces carbon emissions but also supports a wide range of industries.
