Atoz Carbon Cycle Platform
Carbon Reduction: Micro Algae Cultivation System (MACS)
Carbon reduction is an important focus of the Atoz Carbon Cycle Platform Project. The platform uses an organic medium produced by black soldier fly larvae to cultivate microalgae, which capture carbon through photosynthesis during their growth process.
While microalgae require carbon to grow, the exact amount of carbon they can absorb depends on a variety of factors. Several studies have been conducted to determine the amount of carbon that microalgae can absorb. For example, a study published in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering found that microalgae can capture up to 90% of CO2 emissions from industrial flue gas.
Food Waste Management: Black Soldier Fly Farming (BSF)
Recycling waste is an essential component of the Atoz Carbon Cycle Platform. The platform aims to reduce the environmental impact of waste by incorporating a recycling Centre to collect food waste for black soldier fly cultivation.
The black soldier fly larvae feed on food waste, making it an ideal feedstock for the larvae. The larvae produce nutrient-rich frass (excrement) that serves as an organic medium for microalgae cultivation.
By collecting food waste and using it to feed the black soldier fly larvae, the Atoz Carbon Cycle Platform reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfills, reducing the environmental impact of waste disposal. The platform's commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly practices is evident in its emphasis on recycling waste to create a closed-loop system that benefits the environment and society.
