Brazilian Biotechnology Startup, TerraMares, Has Developed Promising Technology for the Production of Green Hydrogen, Which Has Spurred Interest in Other Countries.

The company was founded in 2019 by two oceanographers and an oceanography intern and has its operations base at the laboratories of Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG).

Utilizing microalgae cultivation, TerraMares transformed research that used microalgae to provide inputs for agriculture into a technology recognized in several countries. The company offers bioinputs or bioenergy according to each sector’s needs.

For the inputs, it uses waste from companies and landfills to feed the microalgae. In the case of bioenergy, the main raw material used is different. The main types of companies served by biotechnology are in sanitation, fertilizers, chemical industries, and agribusiness cooperatives.

Green Hydrogen Is a Promising Source of Green Energy, Being Produced Through Renewable Sources, Such as Biomass, Wind, and Solar

Produced without the use of fossil fuels, hydrogen is considered an important chemical compound to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. Research on green hydrogen is part of the Green Hydrogen Innovation Program launched by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) in December 2021.

In addition to contributing to the reduction of gas emissions, the technology developed by TerraMares also helps to diminish the environmental impacts of fossil fuel use in the industry. The startup is a pioneer in the biotechnology production of microalgae and demonstrates the importance of entrepreneurial and innovative initiatives in the environmental sector.

The company is proof that it is possible to transform scientific research ideas into an innovative startup, working on highly complex research and cutting-edge technology to ensure the creation of sustainable products with potential to positively impact the environment.

He emphasizes that TerraMares is being accelerated by the Green Hydrogen Innovation Program, demonstrating its relevance in the market. With its technology, the startup stands out in the biotechnology sector, highlighting the importance of entrepreneurial and innovative initiatives in the environmental sector.

TerraMares has been working in partnership with other companies and industries, developing products according to each sector’s need. Thus, the startup completes a proof of concept and invests in larger scale, specifically for the model that already exists in the industry. The use of microalgae technology to produce green hydrogen may be a promising solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing more sustainable products.

Research on green hydrogen is an opportunity for innovative companies to stand out in the market with sustainable and less polluting solutions. The technology developed by TerraMares for the production of green hydrogen could be an important solution for the environmental impacts caused by the industry. The startup is an example of entrepreneurship and innovation, with technology that can positively impact the environment and help create a more sustainable future for all.
