Microalgae-Based Carbon Capture & Utilisation
Hard-to-abate industries — cement, steel, chemicals, power generation — cannot fully electrify or switch fuels in the short term. They face mounting pressure from net-zero targets, voluntary carbon markets, and mandatory regulations, yet most carbon capture solutions are either prohibitively capital-intensive (CCUS) or land-hungry (afforestation). Geovitas and partnered technologist’s microalgae-based carbon capture system offers a biological, modular alternative: photobioreactors deployed at industrial emission points that capture CO₂ directly from flue gases and Direct Air Capture (DAC), converting it into bio-materials (feed, fertiliser, pigments, biofuels) with a low land footprint, minimal infrastructure requirements, and a built-in revenue stream from algal biomass.

Why it calls for Urgent Action
The Regulatory Relevance and Criticality
Verified carbon capture creates compliance pathways and revenue opportunities across international trade requirements, domestic carbon markets, and corporate climate targets
India CCTS / PAT Scheme
Verified carbon capture is eligible for carbon credit generation under India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme. Facilities under the Perform, Achieve, Trade (PAT) scheme can use captured CO₂ toward energy efficiency targets.
EU CBAM
Cement, steel, and fertiliser producers exporting to the EU can directly reduce CBAM certificate costs by demonstrating lower embedded emissions through verified on-site CO₂ capture. Each tonne of CO₂ captured and verified reduces the embedded emissions that CBAM declarants must pay for from 2026.
SBTi & Corporate Net-Zero
Installations provide independently verifiable Scope 1 emission reductions for companies with Science-Based Targets or Corporate Net-Zero pledges. The technology aligns with India’s NDC goals to reduce emissions intensity of GDP by 45% by 2030.
Meet your net-zero commitments with verifiable Scope 1 reductions. Book an emission characterization study to determine system configuration, carbon credit generation, and SBTi validation pathway.

Three Service Lines
We work with cities, industries, and energy operators - each with a distinct pathway
Every organisation is now a climate organisation. This includes both the government and private ones. By this we mean every city, region, industry and energy company. Geovitas is how the serious organisations get ahead and stay ahead.
Our Story
The name Geovitas comes from geo (earth) and vitas (life) – sustaining life by making climate action economically rewarding. We serve three sectors: cities converting emission reductions into carbon credit revenue, manufacturers accessing export contracts through verified product carbon footprints, and energy operators stacking revenue from waste recovery and verified reductions. Climate accountability becomes commercially viable when the same data that meets regulatory requirements also unlocks green finance, reduces certificate costs, and generates tradeable credits.
