Arborea was founded in 2015 by visionary designer Julian Melchiorri. The hearth of Arborea is the Carbon Bio-Converter (CBC) technology, a disruptive phototrophic algae cultivation that harnesses the natural process of photosynthesis. The CBC is integrated into the revolutionary “BioSolar Leaf” tiling system that is attractively and sensitively designed to be applied on most building typologies and helps building owners to neutralize their carbon footprint by removing CO2, clean the air by removing air-pollutants from their effluent gasses, produce breathable oxygen and decrease energy consumption for indoor climatic control. Moreover the BioSolar Leaf produces a highly versatile kind of biomass that includes important quantities of proteins and can be completely customized in terms of proteins, fatty acids, feed additives. This will help meet the increased demand of proteins for the animal feed industry coming from a growing population, in an highly sustainable way.
