Technology
Nature, optimized through technology
Our proprietary technology decouples production growth from resource depletion and carbon emissions
The world needs more food, but traditional agriculture puts growing pressure on land, water and the climate.
VAXA breaks this equation. Our controlled, biosecure site in Iceland runs on geothermal heat and power, providing ideal conditions for growing superior consistent microalgae in high yields year-round.
We turn our microalgae into high-value functional ingredients that enhance the products they go into while reducing the carbon footprint of their supply chains.
Superior ingredients for better products
By optimizing the growing environment, we activate
natural metabolic pathways in microalgae that are
suppressed under conventional conditions.
THE RESULT
VAXA delivers consistent yields of superior ingredients and products, including the only Spirulina with natural active B12, highly bioavailable Omega-3 and natural, clean blue food color.
We do it using less than 1% of the land and water and with 10× greater production efficiency compared to traditional methods.
Growth engine for durable biogenic carbon removal
Our production creates a nutrient-rich process waste stream called Phelys™. We apply it to grassland , where it helps restore soil health and build soil organic carbon.
This soil carbon gain is independently measured, monitored, and backed by peer-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), directly built into the verified footprint of VAXA ingredients.
The Result
Simple, Standards-Aligned Carbon Reporting
Every VAXA ingredient is carbon-negative, lowering the overall footprint of the final products they enter. Your sustainability team can use these verified metrics directly in its reporting.
- Scope 3 Category 1 ready. (purchased goods & services)
- Aligned with the GHG Protocol LSR Standard.
- Supports your SBTi FLAG targets.
- No credits. No offsets. The carbon benefit is part of the ingredient’s verified footprint and stays with it through your supply chain.
Primary data has shown durable carbon removal of approximately 400 tons of CO₂ per square kilometer per year.
