Could Algae Fix Our Climate Problems?

Most people don’t think of algae when it comes to climate action, but it might just be one of the most powerful tools we’ve got. We speak with Jean Tan, Co-Founder and Chief Ecosystem Officer of Atoz Carbon Cycle Platform. Her team is using microalgae to do more than just capture carbon – it’s helping crops grow better, improving soil, and even supporting the food chain – all through one integrated system.

Jean explains how this tiny organism is already making a big impact, the real benefits seen by farmers and businesses, and why she believes ESG shouldn’t be seen as a cost but as a smart investment in long-term value.
