SOS Carbon

SOS Carbon is a marine biotechnology company focused on managing the sargassum seaweed crisis through innovative collection and sequestration technologies. Spun off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the company utilizes its proprietary Littoral Collection Module (LCM) to intercept sargassum at sea before it reaches shorelines, preventing environmental and economic damage. The harvested biomass is then utilized for carbon sequestration or processed into high-value organic products like liquid fertilizers. By transforming an environmental hazard into a sustainable resource, SOS Carbon provides a scalable solution for ocean health and climate change mitigation. The company's operations are primarily centered in the Caribbean, where sargassum blooms significantly impact tourism and local ecosystems.
