Brilliant Planet is a sustainability startup founded in 2013, based in the United Kingdom. The company's slogan, "Unlocking nature to permanently remove carbon at gigaton scale", encapsulates its mission to harness the power of algae for affordable and large-scale carbon sequestration. Their innovative approach involves cultivating microalgae in open-air pond-based systems on costal desert land, without using fresh water. This process not only enables the quantifiable sequestering of carbon but also contributes to the health of oceans and air.
The latest milestone for Brilliant Planet was the $12.00M Series A investment on 06 April 2022. The investment was secured from a consortium of notable investors including Future Positive Capital, Union Square Ventures, S2G Ventures, Toyota Ventures, Pegasus Tech Ventures, AiiM Partners, Hatch Blue, and the Grantham Foundation.
