Malta, October 2026.
Alkagesta-invested startup Clean Caspian has received international press coverage following the successful completion of Phase I of its development, with the milestone reported across science, energy, and industry publications.
The European reported on the identification of two chemical technologies — Oil-Collecting Reagent 1 and Flocculant-Coagulant 1 — designed to contain and disperse oil spills in marine ecosystems, noting the broader environmental context of oil spill damage and the potential for the technologies to address real-world pollution scenarios. Nefterynok covered the Phase I completion alongside Alkagesta’s receipt of the EcoVadis Committed Badge, placing both milestones within the company’s wider ESG commitments. Science World Report highlighted the commercial ambition behind the initiative, noting that oil spills cause nearly $3 billion worth of environmental damage globally each year, and framing Clean Caspian as a practical response to an ongoing industry responsibility.
The coverage reflects growing interest in the initiative across international media, as the Clean Caspian team moves into Phase II — focused on further optimising both formulations, conducting additional testing under new environmental conditions, and progressing the patent application process.
