Arrhenius AG permanently removes CO₂ from the atmosphere by cultivating and burying microalgae. Its Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) approach combines photosynthesis with technology: in open photobioreactors, microalgae grow rapidly in water with the help of sunlight, binding CO₂ in the process. This makes Arrhenius' BiCRS approach energy- and cost-efficient.

Switzerland must achieve its net-zero climate target by 2050. First and foremost, this means reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially CO₂. Since not all emissions can be avoided, technologies for CO₂ capture and storage are also needed. The FOEN/BAFU promotes their further development and appropriate framework conditions.
