Developing a carbon capture system to reduce CO2
As Cyan Cycle, we are developing a biological carbon capture system to reduce emissions and simultaneously generate a sustainable source of biomass. Utilising cyanobacteria to bind carbon, we aim to cultivate this microorganism by using emissions as the carbon source. Learn more about our vision, technology, and team, and help us advance our technology in order to capture CO2 in a
cyan cycle
Our Cause
Transformation to a sustainable society is a long and complex process. At the same time, overcoming the climate crisis requires immediate solutions that improve production processes today. Learn more about why we do what we do.
Our Technology
Cyan Cycle is developing a new kind of bioreactor, in which CO₂ is captured by cyanobacteria. The resulting biomass can be further used as a carbon neutral feedstock in various biochemical production processes. Find out what our carbon capture system can do!
About Us
Cyan Cycle began in October 2022 as a student team in the Austrian Sustainability Challenge, built around one question: could industrial CO₂ emissions become food for cyanobacteria instead of a burden on the climate?
Since then, we have taken the idea from a first prototype in 2023 to a full-scale 1,000-litre pilot reactor turning CO₂ supplied by Air Liquide into biomass.
We never did it alone. Many people contributed their skills along the way, from business development to product development and prototyping, and mentors worked alongside us on the project. Together with the incubators, research facilities and industry partners that backed us, they shaped Cyan Cycle at every stage.
