VISION
A revolution in the way we care for water
Caravela is a Nature-Based Solution, an urban sculptural intervention, which continually removes pollutants from water on a daily basis:
​
* Removes pollution
* Uptakes CO2
* Releases O2
* Increases local biodiversity
* Alleviates environmental stress due to water pollution
* Produces Blue Carbon
* Contributes to Net Zero Carbon horizon
YEAH, CARAVELA!
A disruptive approach, with a continuous and efficient method of cleaning water systems.
​
Through algal bioremediation it is possible to treat on a daily basis, at a microscopic level, water pollution using a natural and renewable resource with a low cost and mitigated operational impact.
​
The Caravela has enormous efficiency, with the most productive square meter of biomass in the world.
​
Net Zero Carbon and Global Climate Action
The technology contributes to Net Zero Carbon target and Global Climate Action, in the context of Blue Economy.
SCULPTURAL AND POETIC ECO-DESIGN
In December 2018, the Caravela was honored with the international TIA - Top Innovation Award, in the category Eco-Design Award, during the World Eco Design Conference, in China.

FORM AND
WATER
More than raising a flag, we hoist the sails. Not to discover new worlds but to offer a new conscious to the waters of this world.
​
The Caravela was designed in such way that, with its rotational movement, two main symbolisms are revealed: an iconic and caricature sailboat and a drop of water.
