Sustainability as Operating System

At AEI PREP‑Taiwan, sustainability is not only a vision—it is how we operate. Guided by Environmental, Ethical, Philanthropic, and Economic responsibilities, we implement concrete actions to ensure our algae‑based carbon capture contributes to a greener, fairer, and more resilient future.

  • Algae‑driven CO₂ capture with circular valorization of by‑products.
  • Transparent, community‑engaged deployments with measurable impact.
  • Financially resilient models aligned with policy incentives and offtake partners.

🌱 Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to minimizing ecological impact and maximizing CO₂ absorption efficiency.

Life Cycle Assessment

Measure full carbon footprint from cultivation to product use (cultivation → harvest → processing → logistics → use → recovery).

Clean Energy Use

Power cultivation, lighting, and processing with renewables where possible (solar, wind).

Water Recycling

Closed‑loop water management; integrate wastewater treatment to reduce freshwater intake.

Biodiversity Protection

Avoid invasive strains; conduct ecological risk assessments and biosafety protocols.

Zero‑Waste Strategy

Valorize residues into soil enhancers, feed, or fertilizers; prioritize circularity.

⚖️ Ethical Responsibility

We uphold integrity, transparency, and respect for communities and ecosystems.

Transparency

Disclose algae sources, (GMO) design & safety tests; publish risk & mitigation summaries.

Community Engagement

Obtain local consent before deployments; co‑design pilots with residents & authorities.

Fair Labor

Safe workplaces, fair wages, inclusion, and clear grievance channels across partners.

Knowledge Sharing

Open education kits, training with universities/farmers; avoid knowledge lock‑in.

Cultural Sensitivity

Respect traditional knowledge and local laws during field work and sampling.
