About
Algaenite is an Israeli startup that has developed a biological solution to produce sustainable and high-performing organic liquid fertilizer. The company utilizes naturally occurring cyanobacteria in automated photobioreactors to fix nitrogen from the air and convert it into ammonia using sunlight as an energy source. This process is carbon-negative and aims to provide a clean, high-quality fertilizer that does not compromise crop yields, addressing the environmental issues and inefficiencies of traditional synthetic and organic fertilizers. Algaenite is a spinoff of Growponics.
