Floating autonomous seaweed farms have the potential to sequester carbon and cool the ocean while reducing ocean acidity! Multiple start-ups are researching solutions that will utilize small solar powered robotic boats to pull underwater colonies of fast-growing seaweed. This, potentially, could sequester as much carbon as 250 trees.
While more RND is needed, it is an interesting concept to help reverse climate change. The boat would avoid shipping lanes, navigate to colder waters, trim the crop when fully grown so it falls to the ocean floor where it will remain.
Please have a look at this cutting-edge solution where people are thinking outside the conventional thought process. Forward thinkers must be brave enough to try something new and not be afraid to fail! My hat… Continue reading
1 Billion Cows
On this Planet
Did you know there are more than 1-billion cows on this planet, and they have 4-stomachs? They also emit 2x the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the worlds aviation industry! Mind blowing, right! Knowledge is power…
There are many blog articles I could write about these statistics. Today’s blog solution will focus on a Swedish start-up company building the world’s largest seaweed factory. The seaweed is mixed into their existing feedstock reducing the methane released from cows’ flatulence. Yes, their farts! About 3 years ago now, I learned about this for the first time. Scientists continue to study and scale up this solution, helping to reverse climate change.
If you would like to learn more about it, have… Continue reading
