From carbon capture technology to artificial reef construction, marine brokerage to digital verification. Aarkoss delivers the full spectrum of marine environmental and climate services.
Eight Service Lines. One Ocean.
Carbon Capture & Utilization
Our carbon capture portfolio centres on the Clima Tree photobioreactor, a proprietary system using optimized microalgae to absorb CO2 continuously through biological and mineral pathways. Engineered for coastal and marine-adjacent environments, Clima Tree processes emissions from port facilities, coastal power plants, desalination exhaust, and offshore platform support bases. Captured carbon converts into biomass, biofuels, and industrial feedstock. The system is modular, deployable indoors or outdoors, and proven in Gulf conditions where temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius and salinity levels challenge conventional biology.
Key Capabilities
- Clima Tree photobioreactor with 32 Gulf-optimized algal strains
- Combined biological and mineral CO2 absorption pathways
- Modular configurations for portside, coastal, and indoor deployment
- Carbon-to-product conversion: biomass, biocrude, biofertilizer
- Marine-grade sensors for real-time capture monitoring
- Integration with desalination and coastal industrial exhaust systems
- Proven performance in extreme Gulf marine conditions
Benefits
- Continuous 24/7 carbon capture with verifiable output data
- Revenue generation from captured carbon by-products

Artificial Reef Construction
Aarkoss designs and deploys artificial reef systems engineered for Arabian Gulf marine conditions. Our reef construction programme spans the full lifecycle: marine site assessment, hydrodynamic modelling, structure design, fabrication, deployment, and long-term biological monitoring. We work with multiple reef technologies -- 3D-printed reef modules with complex internal geometries that mimic natural coral formations, engineered concrete reef balls, steel frame structures for fish aggregation, and purpose-designed substrate units that promote coral settlement. Every reef is designed for the specific site ecology, depth, current regime, and target species assemblage.

Marine Brokerage
Aarkoss operates a marine brokerage division serving the growing fleet of operators in Arabian Gulf waters. We broker vessel charters for survey, construction, supply, and environmental monitoring operations. Our procurement team sources marine equipment -- from subsea survey instruments to heavy-lift crane barges -- through established relationships with global marine suppliers. We coordinate offshore logistics including crew rotation, equipment mobilization, port clearance, and regulatory compliance. For operators entering Gulf waters, we provide port operations advisory covering local regulations, berthing, customs, and maritime authority requirements.

Nature-Based Solutions
Aarkoss has planted over 19 million mangroves and 250,000 additional trees across Gulf coastlines, making us one of the region's most experienced practitioners of marine and coastal nature-based solutions. Our programmes span the full lifecycle: coastal site assessment, species selection for local conditions, nursery establishment, large-scale planting, ongoing maintenance, and long-term monitoring. We develop blue carbon methodologies that quantify sequestration from mangrove, seagrass, and salt marsh ecosystems, generating verified carbon credits through internationally recognised standards. Every coastal restoration project is paired with marine biodiversity monitoring to track ecosystem recovery.

Circular Economy & Resource Recovery
Industrial emissions and marine biomass are not waste -- they are feedstock. Aarkoss designs and operates circular economy systems that capture CO2, process organic marine material, and recover valuable minerals from industrial and marine by-products. Our algae-based biorefinery approach converts captured carbon into biomass for aquaculture feed, biofertilizer, and biocrude fuel. Marine biomass from seaweed cultivation and reef maintenance generates additional product streams. Our mineral carbonation processes permanently sequester CO2 in stable carbonate materials suitable for reef construction aggregate and marine building applications, creating a closed loop between carbon capture and reef deployment.
Key Capabilities
- Algae biorefinery for biomass, biofertilizer, and biocrude
- Marine biomass processing from seaweed and reef cultivation
- Mineral carbonation for permanent CO2 sequestration
- Carbonate aggregate production for reef construction material
- Industrial and marine wastewater treatment via algae bioremediation
- Life cycle assessment and circular economy auditing
Benefits
- New revenue streams from carbon and marine by-products
- Reduced waste disposal and treatment costs
- Permanent carbon sequestration in reef-grade mineral form
- Closed-loop integration between carbon capture and reef construction
- Enhanced corporate sustainability and blue economy credentials
