EF Hult Prize

As students at the University of Sydney, John Phipps and his team saw the ecological harm caused by toxic wastewater and its impact on Australia’s local ecosystem ⚠️

That’s how ALBON was born, a system that grows algae to treat wastewater before it reaches the environment, then takes it a step further to convert algae into carbon-negative fertilizer ♻️

This innovation is what got John and his team to the 2024 Hult Prize Global Accelerator, where they were coached by mentors to refine their business strategy and gained connections to some of Australia’s most renowned climate tech experts.
