Our Story

Nanopula began with a simple but urgent question: How can we capture carbon where it's most difficult and most necessary?

From Experiments to Innovation

From early experiments with plant-derived nanocellulose to advanced CO₂-absorbing aerogels, we have evolved into a materials innovation company tackling some of the toughest decarbonization challenges.

Our work spans from industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS) to ocean-based carbon removal and carbon mineralization in mining tailings.

Global South Leadership

Rooted in Africa, we're proving that breakthrough climate technologies can emerge from the Global South and scale globally. Our mission is to design cost-effective, high-performance nanomaterials that make carbon removal and environmental regeneration accessible across Africa and beyond.

Our Ethos

We believe that real science creates real impact and that innovation must serve both people and the planet. Nanopula exists not just to remove carbon, but to restore balance, regenerate ecosystems, and empower communities to thrive in a sustainable economy.
