about us

Maripure is home to a diverse and international team of scientists, engineers, seaweed and manufacturing professionals, united by a common passion – to drive urgent and impactful climate action, we champion biosolutions as the way forward.

Our first mission: tackling cattle enteric methane. Using natural compounds derived from seaweed cultivated in proprietary photobioreactors, powered by fish farm wastewater, we are developing a feed supplement that dramatically reduces methane emissions in cattle.

Harnessing nature’s potential demands creativity, bold thinking, and resilience from a passionate team committed to transforming our food systems. Together, we aim to create a profound and lasting positive impact for the planet and future generations.

our why

Today, cattle are the leading global source of anthropogenic methane, contributing 30% of emissions, with methane having 28 times the climate warming potential of CO2 over 100 years. Our natural feed supplement can be a vital tool for farmers as they reduce emissions, and improve on-farm economics.

We cannot forget that our food system provides 100% of our food and nutrition. There are currently, however, no suitable options for mitigating enteric methane production for the organic cattle industry. We believe in supporting cultures and livelihoods that prioritise animal welfare and product quality with our natural supplement.

approach

The Maripure approach maximises nature’s potential using technology, to turn waste products into a reliable, scalable, sustainable feed supplement that radically reduces farmers’ emissions.

This small supplement, co-developed with farmers to integrate seamlessly into existing systems, offers a powerful solution to reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

system

Our system transforms raw waste water from land-based fish production, traditionally requiring costly biofiltration, into valuable seaweed biomass through our proprietary photobioreactors. With our patent pending biorefinery, we produce ingredients that eliminate emissions from our agriculture and food systems.
