Soheyl Mottehedeh: Algae

Algae: The Biofactory and Building Block of
Nature's Bioingredients
This presentation looks at the place and role of algae in nature and its contribution to fighting climate change. We examine the various methods of cultivation for different purposes, including an innovative method developed by Soheyl that has caught the attention of NASA with a prize. Soheyl shares stories about other technology developed during years pioneering in Africa, Southeast Asia, and China which gradually lead to his current work with algae.

“We have a beautiful planet that we live in, and we have to keep its resources for future generations and sustainability is essential, so everything we do has to have the criteria of sustainability, self-reliance and thinking as one big family. We need each other to become better and to help the Earth.”
