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
Big agriculture economic sector accounts for over 10% of US greenhouse gas emissions and emits an estimated 700 million metrics tons of CO2 with highest concentration of nitrous oxide (51%) then methane (36.2) and lastly CO2 (12.3).
This article uses new technology that offers farmers a scalable, organic and regenerative solution, eliminating the need for using chemicals to remove the quickly growing weeds that compete with the crop for photosynthesis.
This article introduces the autonomous weeding robot about the size of a mid-size tractor, powered by artificial intelligence, utilizing 8 independent 150W CO2 lasers with 3mm accuracy that fires every 50 milliseconds.
