RESPONSIBILITY

CaribAlgae is here because we feel that we can act now. Therefore we work on the following Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the United Nations.

CaribAlgae provides jobs for the local habitants of Curacao and therefore creates economic growth for the island.

CaribAlgae provides quality education in micro algae biofuel production.

CaribAlgae believes in creating equal job opportunities for all genders.

CaribAlgae recycles wastewater for the production of algae which reduces the excess wastewater being dumped in the ocean. In addition, the wastewater is treated to “clean” water that can be used for irrigation and agriculture on the island.

CaribAlgae aims to produce affordable energy through algae fuel production in outdoor systems minimising the energy consumption and maximising energy production without polluting the environment.

CaribAlgae introduces a new up and coming industry to the island, benefiting the economy of Curaçao.

By introducing a new up and coming industry to curaçao the island can become the lead biofuel supplier for the Caribbean and the rest of the world.

CaribAlgae wil provide the island with clean biofuel minimising pollution and supporting an even more sustainable community.

CaribAlgae sets an example by doing business hand in hand with the environment.

CaribAlgae helps counteract climate change by cultivating algae thus taking up large amounts of CO2 from our atmosphere. In addition, our biofuel emits up to 80 less CO2 during combustion.

Because of CaribAlgae’s alternative use for wastewater as a nutrient source the wastewater will not be dumped in the ocean and therefore protect aquatic ecosystems and coral reefs from further degradation due to pollution.
