About
Arrhenius is a private headquartered in Lucerne, Switzerland with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Biomass.
Arrhenius AG operates a negative emission technology platform focused on reversing climate change through large-scale carbon dioxide removal. The company uses microalgae photosynthesis to bind atmospheric CO2 and convert it into biomass, which is then buried for permanent underground storage. The process leverages photobioreactors that use sunlight as the primary energy source, achieving up to 50 times higher growth rates than land plants. Microalgae can thrive in wastewater, enabling resource-efficient circular processes. The company emphasizes high standards for monitoring, reporting, and verification to ensure scientific integrity and long-term carbon storage durability.
