Brilliant Planet partners with WSP on ground-breaking carbon capture project in Morocco
WSP will develop the marine works infrastructure associated with the algae production facility. This includes the seawater intake and outfall systems, crucial for successful on-land algae cultivation. WSP will also contribute expert guidance on environmental considerations and specialized coastal modeling to guarantee responsible, sustainable construction practices.
Marthinus Retief , Technical Director for Maritime at WSP in Africa , underscores the significance of this project: "Our teams have supported numerous marine intake and outfall projects. This landmark project with Brilliant Planet however provides a unique possibility of using these well-developed skills to bring about transformative solutions, supporting our global climate initiatives in an unprecedented manner and scale. We share Brilliant Planet's vision on tackling global climate challenges and are excited to contribute our collective ingenuity on this journey."
Brilliant Planet is unlocking the power of algae as an affordable method of permanently and quantifiably sequestering carbon at the gigaton scale. The company's innovative process enables vast quantities of microalgae to grow in open-air pond-based systems on coastal desert land. This is achieved without using fresh water, by harnessing a natural process that contributes to the health of oceans and air.
