Creating the Energy Future
with Microalgae Biomass

SOPHiART connects bioplants, food factories, and farms through wastewater, waste liquids, and production residues, creating new cycles of resources and value.
By leveraging previously overlooked species of microalgae, we purify wastewater while cultivating microalgae biomass serving as a feedstock for biogas and biomethane production.
We uncover value in what was once considered worthless, transforming cost centers into profit centers. We guide the flows of matter — including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus — toward circulation and renewal, and resolve excess and stagnation through circulation and transformation.

Creating the energy future means realizing a sustainable, balanced energy mix ― one that reduces dependence on imported energy and fossil fuels through the widespread adoption of biogas and biomethane, enabled by a stable and scalable supply of microalgae biomass.

As a result, we advance three key outcomes:
• Increasing energy self-sufficiency
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• Building localized energy ecosystems

From micro to macro, from local communities to the planet, we address the world’s energy challenges.

Resolving resource and energy challenges through the power of biology

Microalgae absorb inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — as well as certain organic compounds — to support their continuous growth.
SOPHiART harnesses this wisdom of nature to purify diverse wastewater streams including streams from food industries, anaerobic digestion processes, and livestock operations.
We are a biotechnology startup that addresses global resource and energy challenges by redefining the value of biological systems.
