Blue Carbon
Problem:
We see rising water temperatures, steady degradation of coastal ecosystems and an accelerating loss of seagrass and kelp habitat. Over 90% of kelp forests have disappeared in certain regions.
Solution:
Proven technologies and data-driven approaches for restoration allows to rewild coastal ecosystems at a faster pace than ever before. With the help of photosynthesis, ocean currents and gravity we can use kelp to store carbon in the deep ocean. This natural process has existed on Earth for millions of years, and we can accelerate it.
IMPACT:
Seagrass, mangroves and salt marshes could absorb almost 1.4 billion tonnes of CO₂ by 2050 - one-fifth of the emissions we need to cut. Source: World Economic Forum.
