About
CyanoCapture is a UK biotech founded in January 2021 by David Kim and Samir Chitnavis, spun out of the University of Oxford, that uses genetically modified cyanobacteria for industrial-scale carbon capture. The company buries excess biomass and bioproduct deep underground in approved geological facilities and also pursues bioprecipitation of calcium carbonates for sustainable mineral manufacturing, targeting carbon-negative fillers for construction, alongside CO2-to-insulin and CO2-to-graphite biomanufacturing pathways.
