Seaweed farm capturing carbon

Seaweed Cultivation for Carbon Sequestration

Seaweed cultivation plays a vital role in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation through several key mechanisms:

🌊

Carbon Sink

Seaweeds absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the seawater during photosynthesis, acting as natural carbon sinks.

💙

Blue Carbon

Seaweed ecosystems capture and store large quantities of carbon in marine environments, contributing to valuable blue carbon stocks.

🏪

Carbon Storage

When seaweed biomass sinks to deep ocean floors, it can sequester carbon for centuries in marine sediments.

⚖️

Ocean Acidification Mitigation

By absorbing CO₂, seaweed cultivation helps buffer against ocean acidification, protecting marine ecosystems.

🔄

Sustainable Alternatives

Seaweed-based products can replace carbon-intensive materials, creating circular economy solutions.

🌱

Nutrient Cycling

Seaweeds improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, supporting healthier marine carbon cycles.

Seaweed Applications

Seaweed as Food

As Food

Seaweed is incredibly nutritious, offering vitamins, minerals, and beneficial compounds like iodine, vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and umami flavor. Species used include Porphyra, Undaria, Laminaria, Palmaria, Ulva, Sargassum, Eisenia, Caulerpa and Chondrus.

Seaweed as Feed

As Feed

Seaweed is gaining recognition as a valuable addition to cattle feed due to its potential to improve animal health, reduce methane emissions, and enhance nutritional content.

Seaweed as Fish Feed

As Fish Feed

Provides essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals, improving fish growth, feed efficiency, and overall health.

Seaweed as Biostimulant

As Biostimulant

  • Promotes plant growth and development
  • Enhances stress tolerance (drought, salinity, extreme temperatures)
  • Improves nutrient absorption from soil
  • Increases crop yields and quality
