By Ben Cloud, CEOBiodel AG is in the discovery business. Our expertise and insight have helped us discover a unique plant extract in IAC and discover in Sequester® a superb soil amendment/biofertilizer for agriculture. Our driving goal in these discoveries, beyond agricultural sustainability, is addressing the accumulation of CO2 in our atmosphere.Sequester®’s key is cyanobacteria, credited by NASA for liberating the oxygen in our atmosphere. Cyanobacteria are simple, hardy organisms that convert CO2 into sugars and oxygen. In agriculture, Sequester® decreases salinity, conserves water, and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers, all huge economic drivers for growers worldwide. In achieving these benefits, cyanobacteria pull a huge amount of CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it in the soil.This use of atmospheric CO2 by cyanobacteria – which we understand both functionally and economically – opens huge industries to our technology for strong CO2 sequestration. These industries include:In-Situ Hydrogen Production from retired oil wells. Further production from these wells is uneconomic, but hydrocarbons are still present. Introduced microbe blends can ‘crack’ these hydrocarbons, liberating hydrogen and consuming or storing the carbon. The hydrogen rises up the well and can be easily harvested with existing equipment – an ultra-cheap, naturally derived hydrogen source for energy and manufacturing. This cycle can be repeated continuously until the hydrocarbons are used up. Biodel AG enjoys a huge cost/knowledge advantage in microbe production and could be the technology provider or part of the well conversion process with its vertical integration options.Conversion of CO2 Emissions from flue/stack gases. This CO2 is often simply injected underground, where it is not stable and may leak back into the atmosphere. Our microbial technology efficiently converts this CO2 stream into sugar polymers which remain stable, and oxygen – some strains of cyanobacteria even convert the CO2 into a mineral form! This ‘green recycling process’ helps to re-balance the CO2 in our atmosphere as part of reversing climate change.Biodel AG provides these essential ‘carbon storage’ microorganisms in an economical, durable form. This technology is a natural evolution of our work with cyanobacteria in agriculture and expands our reach into huge industrial opportunities in energy production.It’s a vital, fascinating, and hopefully profitable ride – join us! https://wefunder.com/biodelaginc
