Viride focuses on large-scale cultivation of microalgae, positioning algae as a solution for climate mitigation and nutrition by capturing CO2 and providing plant-based proteins, fats and essential nutrients. The company cultivates algae in large, open saltwater basins located in desert regions near the sea, sites where conventional agriculture is not viable. Viride emphasizes that algae do not compete for arable land and can deliver high biomass growth for carbon capture and food ingredients. The startup is headquartered in Hessen, Germany. The article outlines the company's vision and cultivation approach but does not provide operational metrics, revenue, or user figures.
