Maripure

Company Overview Maripure is a forward-thinking company dedicated to pioneering biosolutions for an emissions-free future. In a world dominated by synthetic products, Maripure believes that nature is the best source of innovation, focusing on converting waste streams into valuable resources. Mission and Values United by a common passion, Maripure's diverse and international team of scientists, engineers, seaweed experts, and manufacturing professionals is committed to driving urgent and impactful climate action. Their first mission is to tackle cattle enteric methane emissions. By utilizing natural compounds derived from seaweed cultivated in proprietary photobioreactors powered by fish farm wastewater, they are developing a feed supplement that dramatically reduces methane emissions in cattle. Approach and Technology Maripure's approach maximizes nature's potential using technology to transform waste products into a reliable, scalable, and sustainable feed supplement. This supplement, co-developed with farmers to integrate seamlessly into existing systems, offers a powerful solution to reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming while promoting sustainable agricultural practices. System and Products The company's system transforms raw wastewater from land-based fish production, traditionally requiring costly biofiltration, into valuable seaweed biomass through proprietary photobioreactors. With their patent-pending biorefinery, Maripure produces ingredients that eliminate emissions from agriculture and food systems. Their seaweed products serve as a powerful tool to assist cattle farmers in their drive towards emissions-free production, with organic certification underway and further benefits such as improved animal productivity.
