Company Overview

Phykos, PBC is an atmospheric carbon dioxide removal company founded in 2020. It develops and operates low-cost, solar-powered autonomous vessels for cultivating fast-growing seaweed on the open ocean. The seaweed biomass is periodically harvested and deposited into the deep ocean, sequestering the embodied carbon. The company's business model is based on selling the resulting carbon credits to corporations and governments to help them meet their climate commitments. Phykos was part of the Y Combinator Summer 2021 batch and is backed by investors including Ocean Visions, Y Combinator, and Climate Capital.
