A Planet Under Pressure

Every minute, a forest area the size of 18 football fields is lost due to climate change and man-made deforestation in order to create fertile land for cultivation. Worldwide, agriculture accounts for 70% of freshwater withdrawals, and according to some estimates, demand for freshwater in many parts of the world will exceed supply by nearly 40% in as little as five years. Farmers are struggling with even the fertile land that they have now due to both soil degradation and microplastic contamination, predicted to affect 95% of the earth’s soil within 25 years.

There are over eight billion people on Earth (and nearly one billion pet cats and dogs !) all pulling on the same resources. This is a planet under pressure.

We need new forms of sustainable food cultivation without fertile land or excessive fresh water

The Biosolar Leaf TM is a breakthrough in food and feed production. It doesn’t replace but can significantly enhance the current food supply chain. Barren land, and not fertile land, can now be turned into highly revenue-generating, ultra-efficient ‘farmland’. Arborea’s Biosolar Leaf TM is a  breathing cultivation system’ that uses industrial photosynthesis to grow any photosynthetic microalgae, such as spirulina, with just carbon dioxide and sunlight as feedstocks and pure oxygen as a by-product. The result is naturally nutrient-rich, carbon-neutral biomass containing complete profile amino acid protein, bioactive vitamins including B12, iron, magnesium, and other essential minerals and nutrients.

In addition, unlike any other spirulina or microalgae, which are typically grown in ponds and are vulnerable to cross-contamination, our outdoor yet closed-system production ensures complete control over quality, taste, and nutritional profile batch after batch. That means no pesticides, no pathogens, no genetic modification, no heavy metal contamination – just clean-label, minimally processed nutrition.

Whether for the development of next-generation supplements, beverages, smoothies or functional foods, Biosolar Ultra Pure Spirulina TM delivers the purity, performance, and sustainability today’s market demands – opening the door to innovation in even the most resource-constrained geographies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Biosolar™ Spirulina vegan and allergen-free?

Yes. Our spirulina is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. It contains no known allergens and no artificial additives.

 

Is your spirulina and other microalgae from your process actually carbon neutral?

Yes. Our spirulina is produced using CO₂ captured from emissions with no pressurisation, powered by natural outdoor sunlight, and grown in closed, controlled systems. It requires no fertile farmland, meaning it can be cultivated on otherwise unusable, barren land. Our closed-system technology allows for growth without deforestation, excessive water use, or loss of biodiversity. Read more.

 

What makes Biosolar™ Spirulina “ultra pure”?

It’s uniquely grown in an outdoor yet controlled and closed environment without open ponds and so free from any cross-contamination risk from the environment, such as other algae, heavy metals, or  animal-derived pathogens. It has exceptional and consistent taste, colour, and nutrition making it ideal for mass market food development.

 

What makes Arborea’s spirulina such a strong nutritional option?

Biosolar TM Spirulina offers readily digestible protein with a complete amino acid profile, bioavailable minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and zinc, bioavailable vitamins such as A, K, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, natural antioxidants and many other nutrients beneficial to humans, animals, pets, fish, and even plants.
