About Maripure
Maripure is a Danish biosolutions company focused on climate action in food and agriculture. It develops natural, seaweed-based feed supplements designed to reduce methane emissions from cattle, with an emphasis on turning waste streams into value through technology and biorefinery approaches.
The company positions itself as a science-led team of scientists, engineers, and seaweed and manufacturing specialists working toward an emissions-free future. Its first mission is to tackle enteric methane in cattle, while also supporting farmers with solutions that can fit into existing systems and improve on-farm economics.
Core Values
- Climate impact: Maripure is built around urgent climate action, with a clear focus on reducing methane emissions from cattle and lowering the footprint of food production.
- Nature-based innovation: The company believes nature is the best source of innovation and uses seaweed and biosolutions rather than synthetic inputs.
- Circular resource use: Its process converts fish farm wastewater into seaweed biomass, reflecting a commitment to turning waste streams into value.
- Practical farmer fit: Maripure emphasizes solutions that can be co-developed with farmers and integrated into existing systems without major disruption.
Unique Aspects
- Wastewater-powered seaweed cultivation: The company grows seaweed in proprietary photobioreactors powered by fish farm wastewater, linking aquaculture waste treatment with ingredient production.
- Patent-pending biorefinery approach: Maripure says its patent-pending biorefinery produces ingredients aimed at eliminating emissions from agriculture and food systems.
- Organic cattle focus: It highlights that there are currently no suitable options for mitigating enteric methane production for the organic cattle industry, positioning its supplement for that gap.
- Danish regulatory compliance: Maripure states that it complies with Danish Feed Regulation §14 and Feed Hygiene Regulation Article 9 and is registered in the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration’s database.
