1 kL pilot train
Tubular photobioreactors under glass, running the same geometry a commercial train uses.
Biological Manufacturing Platform
Carbon is not a waste stream.It is a feedstock nobody priced.
The Carbon Foundry turns industrial carbon into finished, high value products. Two production platforms, one cascade, revenue positive from the first run.

The reframe
Heavy industry buries carbon. We put it to work.
The carbon leaving your stack is not a liability to manage. It is inventory no one has claimed. We claim it, and turn it into products the market already buys.
The conversion
Carbon in. Materials out.
01 / CARBON
Flue gas and effluent, taken as they leave your plant.
02 / CONVERSION
Algae close the loop, turning that carbon into biomass.
03 / MATERIALS
One biomass, three families: colour, protein, oils.
SAME CARBON, START TO FINISHNOTHING BURIED. NOTHING WASTED.
On the ground
The lab and the pilot, Hazaribagh.
Strain work, analytics and a running pilot train sit on one campus, which is why a result in the lab reaches a reactor in weeks rather than quarters.
Strain library
Twenty five extremophilic strains held under grow lights, screened for industrial conditions.
Analytical lab
Sonication, sample prep and assay work on the same campus as the reactors.
Chemistry lab
Fume hood work on extraction and downstream chemistry for the cascade.
Microscopy and cell counts
Daily counts and morphology checks that decide when a culture is harvested.
Sample preparation
Extraction and preparation benches feeding the analytical methods buyers specify against.
Delivered
Projects already executed.
Reactors built, gas captured, product made. Host and buyer names are held under agreement, so sites are described by sector.

The BioFoundry
One foundry. Every molecule industry needs, cast from carbon.
The Intrinsic BioFoundry is the downstream every plant feeds: one cascade that fractionates a single algal stream into two named product families, dry biomass and materials.
Production platform 01
Intrinsic C series
Carbon-only molecules · every lipid class
Specialty oils and lipids for pharma and performance. A GLA rich oil, an exceptional omega 7 oil, and vegan omega 3, from our thermophilic production strains.

Intrinsic N series
Nitrogen-bearing molecules · proteins, pigments, bioactives
Pigments, proteins, and bioactives for food, nutrition, and beauty. Validated ingredients with certificates of analysis, grown from carbon rather than petrochemistry.
Bioactive pigments

Both converge at the Intrinsic BioFoundry, one cascade that turns a single biomass stream into many priced outputs.
The outputs
One biomass stream. Many priced products.
The cascade fractionates a single stream into high value products, with near zero waste.

Our reactors
One family, 5 L to 10 kL.
We design and build the reactors ourselves: horizontal tubular photobioreactors in modified PMMA, aluminium framed, aseptically flanged, extruded on the site where they will run. The geometry does not change between the strain bank and a commercial train, so scale up is capacity, not redesign.

The unlock
Carbon Banking. The reason this works.
We store CO2 as bicarbonate in the cultivation medium, decoupling capture from growth. A plant can bank carbon continuously, and capture no longer has to happen where cultivation does.
Patent pending. Application No. 202531093012.
The deployment · Zero-Land Deployment
Land is not the constraint.
Every emitter says the same thing: no spare land next to the stack. Our answer is to split the plant in two. You set aside zero land.
The proof
MITRA. Our first-of-a-kind plant.
An integrated bio-CCU and biomanufacturing hub in India's industrial heartland. Capture, cultivation, harvest, and a cascade biorefinery, under one roof. Proof you can point to, built where the carbon is.
Mitra means ally. That is the point.
Recognition
Backed, incubated, and recognised.

What is next
From emissions to effluent.
An integrated yeast platform, in development, will extend the foundry from gas phase emissions to liquid effluents and lignocellulosic residues. The carbon bioeconomy, widened.
