Eyal Harel is a seasoned leader in the climate tech industry with over two decades of experience. As CEO of BlueGreen Water Technologies, he focuses on water safety, climate mitigation, and adaptation. Under his guidance, BlueGreen has developed eco-friendly solutions to combat harmful algal blooms, introducing the first interventional technologies for lakes and oceans. These innovations have preserved global water resources, boosted biodiversity, and improved the livelihoods of communities reliant on contaminated waterbodies. Eyal’s team is at the forefront of locking algal-bound carbon in sediments to aid carbon removal and combat climate change. Recent studies confirm that algal bloom remediation further reduces emissions of potent greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide. As such, BlueGreen’s efforts now extend to rural areas, addressing issues of water quality and water availability at no cost to the local communities, financed through carbon credit sales. Committed to corporate social responsibility, Eyal collaborates with environmental organizations, research institutions, and awareness initiatives to tackle water and climate challenges. His leadership emphasizes excellence, collaboration, and a vision for a sustainable future.
