That’s been transforming the planet for millions of years. It’s one of the few plants that fixes its own nitrogen, allowing it to thrive without synthetic fertilizers.
Azolla can double its biomass every few days, efficiently capturing large amounts of atmospheric carbon as it grows. Around 50 million years ago, during the Azolla Event, immense blooms of this microscopic fern blanketed the Arctic Ocean—removing vast quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere and contributing to a major global cooling that reshaped Earth’s climate.
Is harnessing Azolla’s ancient power to restore degraded land, enrich soil, and lock carbon away through biochar. It’s a simple fern with world-changing potential—nature’s original climate solution.
Potential to remove and locked away carbon for 100-1000 years through high-quality biochar.
Of degraded land to restore and repurpose into high-quality carbon sinks.
Azolla’s exponential growth pattern massively accelerates biomass yield, soil health, and carbon capture efficiency.
Together, Thailand and Azolla offer an innovative, pragmatic blueprint for combating runaway climate change.
Thrives in degraded ponds, improving water quality and nutrient cycling.
Thrives in abandoned ponds without competing for arable farmland.
Grows alongside rice, fixing nitrogen, improving soil, boosting yields, and controlling methane emissions.
The future we believe in isn’t theoretical. It’s being built—one pond, one aquatic fern, and one restored ecosystem at a time.
