name: Brilliant Planet
description: Brilliant Planet is a carbon-removal company that grows microalgae in open-air ponds on
  otherwise-unproductive coastal desert land, using seawater rather than fresh water, to sequester atmospheric
  carbon dioxide at scale. Harvested algal biomass is dried and stored to lock the captured carbon away durably,
  while the process also deacidifies the seawater it returns. The company operates research and demonstration
  facilities in coastal Morocco and is developing measurement, reporting, and verification approaches for its
  nature-based carbon capture. It is backed by Union Square Ventures and other climate-focused investors. This
  API Evangelist profile is a company/provider record; Brilliant Planet publishes no public developer API or
  documentation surface at this time (its primary web presence is access-restricted).
