ABOUT MATSURI

MATSURI IS A BIG FESTIVAL THAT CREATES A SOCIETY BASED ON ALGAE!

In recent news and reports, there is a lot of information about sustainability, SDGs, and ethical issues. Unfortunately, however, there are many cases of greenwashing rather than real efforts.

We at MATSURI are committed to introducing fair and honest projects and products that are aimed at realizing an essentially carbon-neutral society, and we promise that you can be assured of the information that we provide through our "SHOJIKI MATSURI (HONESTY FESTIVAL)". We promise you that you can be confident in the information we provide.

The cultivation of "Algae," on which MATSURI is based, can be done even in wastelands and deserts using the power of the sun (photosynthesis) to contribute to the global issue of carbon dioxide reduction, and is characterized by its extremely high resource efficiency. In addition, Algae, which produce a variety of organic matter, provides a new society not dependent on limited fossil resources and also provides valuable nutrients for healthy human beings.

It is extremely difficult to take ownership of global issues on our own, but together we can protect our loved ones and enrich the future for the next 1,000 years. MATSURI introduces many projects and products created from algae.

Please join and support "MATSURI", and let's accomplish the industrial revolution to create the future together!

Algae can use the power of the sun (photosynthesis) to contribute to the global challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Algae can grow even in wastelands and deserts, and is a very effective resource. In addition, algae, which produces a wide variety of organic matter, provides not only the foundation for a new society replaced by society based on fossil resources, but also valuable nutrients for healthy human beings.

The highest efficiency of material production by photosynthesis
The highest efficiency of material production by photosynthesis The highest efficiency of material production by photosynthesis
Compared to land plants, algae boasts high biomass(*) production efficiency.
Oil yield: More than twice as much as palm oil, the most efficient oil producer among land plants.
Protein yield: 16 times higher than soybeans, which have the highest protein productivity in current agriculture.
This indicates that the use of algae is indispensable for the stable supply of a large amount of biomass to society, which is the raw material for various products.
(*)Biomass: Organic resources derived from plants and animals (excluding fossil fuels such as petroleum)

Can be produced with a small amount of water
It is often thought that algae cultivation requires large amounts of water, but in fact, it can be done with much less than in agriculture or livestock farming. This is because in agriculture, most of the water applied to the field percolates underground or evaporates, whereas in algae cultivation, only evaporation from the water surface occurs, minimizing losses.
With the use of finite freshwater resources becoming a social issue, algae that can grow in small amounts of freshwater can be used in environmentally sustainable projects for the future.

No choice of land required for production.
No choice of land required for production.
Since algae can be cultivated basically anywhere as long as there is water and light, it is possible to cultivate algae by effectively utilizing land that is difficult to use for agriculture or abandoned land, such as deserts and wastelands. In fact, large-scale commercial production of algae is being conducted in deserts, lava plateaus, and even in former salt fields. In the coming era, when stable food supply will become an issue, the fact that it does not compete with food production is an extremely important advantage.
