An emissions liability, re-engineered into a supply chain.
The same carbon a port, cement plant, or vessel pays to emit becomes the feedstock for products with real industrial demand. That inversion — cost into commodity — is the whole company.
fixation + conversion
One contained pathway, from flue gas to finished output.
Each module runs a closed biological and thermochemical sequence — intake, fixation, separation, conversion — instrumented end to end so every gram of carbon can be accounted for.
Three systems. One integrated platform.
The biological core, the deployable hardware, and the software that ties every unit's output back to a verifiable record.
Aloreactor
4BlueTech's proprietary bioreactor, in which engineered microalgae and bacterial cultures fix CO₂ and process NOx from a sealed gas stream. The biotechnological heart of every deployed module, and the subject of 4BlueTech's patent filing.

P1Blue
The containerized capture-to-X unit that houses the Aloreactor, gas-handling systems, and downstream conversion equipment inside a standard 20-foot ISO footprint — designed to be sited, connected, and commissioned as a single module.
- Footprint20 ft ISO container

P1Vault
The software layer that governs and records every P1Blue unit in a fleet — real-time IoT telemetry, capture data by the minute, batch documentation, and the ledger from which carbon credit and output records are issued.
- MonitoringReal-time, 24/7
- GranularityCaptured ppm / minute

Every module ships, sites, and scales the same way.
Raw biogas in. Grid-ready biomethane out.
At digesters, wastewater plants, and landfills, roughly half of raw biogas is CO₂. The Aloreactor's cultures consume that CO₂ and scrub contaminants such as H₂S and NOx — raising methane content toward pipeline- and vehicle-grade biomethane, while the stripped carbon leaves as biomass instead of going up a flare.
scrubbing + upgrade
Capture that leaves proof, not promises.
The atmosphere doesn't respond to intentions. It responds to carbon actually removed from the air — and to nitrogen oxides that never reach a city's lungs.
"Everything we build is designed so that removal can be seen, counted, and traced back to the container it happened in."
We treat the exhaust, not the excuse.
CO₂ and NOx are handled where they are emitted — a port berth, a flue, a digester — so the air leaving the site is genuinely cleaner rather than relocated.
Living cultures do the work.
Microalgae and bacteria fix carbon the way nature already does — no solvents to regenerate, no captured gas waiting for somewhere to be buried.
Every gram has a record.
P1Vault ties captured carbon to the batch it became — biochar, fuel, or biomass — so climate impact is audited from the ledger, not estimated on a slide.
Most capture technologies store a problem. Ours converts it.
Cleaner air. Greener industry.
Because we capture CO₂ and NOx at the source, the air leaving a site is measurably cleaner — and the carbon that would have been vented becomes a product instead of a problem.
Captured carbon, put to industrial use.
Biomass leaving the Aloreactor is directed toward two conversion paths — solid carbon storage or liquid fuel synthesis — chosen according to partner requirements.
Biochar
Stabilised carbon output for soil amendment, industrial filtration, and construction-material applications, documented to the batch level.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Biomass-derived fuel pathways aligned with aviation decarbonisation requirements, developed with aerospace-sector partners.
Marine & CO₂-Neutral Fuel
Marine-grade and CO₂-neutral diesel outputs suited to shipping and port-operator decarbonisation programmes.
Agriculture, Food & Feed
Algal biomass fractions suitable for fertiliser, feed, and food-grade applications under a circular-economy model.
Pharma & Cosmetics
Higher-value biomass fractions directed toward pharmaceutical and cosmetic feedstock applications.
Water Regeneration
Wastewater-based cultivation returns treated process water, aligned with UN FAO guidance on water reuse.

4BlueTech's development path — from founding to pilot deployment to accelerator and institutional backing.
Where 4BlueTech has been covered.
Independent coverage, institutional recognition, and the public record of the platform's traction.
A patent-pending process. A traceable chain.
The Aloreactor's biological process and the platform's traceability layer are the two assets 4BlueTech is protecting and documenting.
- Cultivation & fixation protocol — the microalgae and bacterial cultivation method used inside the Aloreactor, currently in the patent process with the support of ACCIÓ.
- Combined CO₂ / NOx capture — the dual-gas capture approach applied within a single closed-circuit reactor.
- Modular container integration — the engineering method for housing the full capture-to-X sequence within a standard 20 ft ISO footprint.
- Batch traceability & ledger — the P1Vault data structure linking each capture batch to its finished biochar or fuel output, including tokenised carbon credit generation.
4BlueTech's cultivation and fixation process is patent-pending, filed with the support of ACCIÓ (Catalonia's innovation agency). Patent number, jurisdiction, and filing date to be confirmed and inserted here once available for public disclosure.
P1Vault records CO₂ and NOx ppm captured per minute at the unit level, with IoT connectivity enabling 24/7/365 monitoring and batch-level documentation for each output stream — the basis for tokenised carbon credit issuance in alliance with Fujitsu and Microsoft.
An engineering team, not a marketing story.
4BlueTech was founded in August 2023 by a team of six engineers and doctoral researchers, following more than seven years of prior collaborative research. The company is headquartered in Barcelona, with laboratory operations in Finland.
Its mission is to help industrial operators, ports, and transport sectors measure, reduce, capture, and convert their CO₂ and NOx emissions — combining biotechnology, AI-driven monitoring, and a modular hardware format designed for real-world siting constraints, not laboratory conditions.
4BlueTech operates a Capture-as-a-Service model: operators contract for a defined capture capacity, delivered and documented by the container, rather than purchasing and maintaining fixed infrastructure.

Compensate what you can't yet cut.
Every month, we run captured CO₂ through our reactors on your behalf and issue you a certificate for the exact tonnage removed — traceable to the batch by P1Vault. Not a paper offset. Real carbon, actually captured, in your name.
