NOW Organic Spirulina Powder is organically grown and certified per USDA standards and from Inner Mongolia in northern China, which is a dry arid region resembling Montana or Arizona, far removed from the industrial pollution of the major cities. The growing takes place in a hothouse environment with pure mineral rich water from 500 meters underground, not exposed to environmental pollution. Our supplier info is proprietary

His goal is 2 gigatons per year but it needs to be scaled up to 100 gigatons per year!!

Some other key features of microalgae are the high photosynthetic efficiency (Moreira and Pires, 2016; Sayre, 2010). Microalgae have the ability to fix carbon dioxide 10-50 times more than other terrestrial plants (Batista et al., 2015). It has a rapid growth / multiplying rate (few hours), much greater than higher plants (Batista et al., 2015; Bennion et al., 2015; Brilman et al., 2013; Cheah et al., 2015).Furthermore, microalgae have the potential to recycle CO2 into bioenergy through photosynthesis, thus, highlighting that bioconversion of CO2 using microalgae is an environmentally friendly and sustainable method (Brilman et al., 2013). Interestingly, bioconversion of CO2 using microalgae has shown strong environmental flexibility. Its ability to tolerate and adapt to a variety of extreme environmental conditions enhances applicability (Moreira and Pires, 2016).
These studies have shown that microalgae can capture around 100 Gt of CO2 into biomass annually.
Microalgae as a key tool in achieving carbon neutrality for bioproduct production - this 2023 paper says 100 gigatons of c02 per year can be stored by microalgae. Makes sense since that's the main source of fossil fuels.
I was saying this in 2006 on the Guerrillanewsnetwork - that the future of life on Earth is algae - one year or another.
Too little too late!!
