Bringing innovation, regeneration, and cost-effectiveness to the seaweed value chain

We’re creating new standards and practices for a truly sustainable blue economy, more resilient blue ecosystems, and large-scale blue carbon capture.

Seaweed isn´t just another crop - and we’re not just another seaweed company

From optimizing seaweed species to thrive in a variety of environments, to developing aquacultural infrastructure with higher biomass yields, our model boosts the potential for aquaculture to capture more atmospheric carbon, absorb harmful excess nutrients, and generate more biomass without harming local ecosystems.

Our integrated model delivers consistent seaweed biomass, with less financial and environmental cost of traditional seaweed suppliers.

We designed our system for scalable production to supply various industries with sustainable biomass, reducing dependence on fossil-based materials and land-based agriculture.

Our approach ensures resilience and adaptability, creating new opportunities for coastal communities while addressing climate change challenges.

Reliability

Pelagic seaweeds are robust and require minimal infrastructure.

Scalability

Our model can be implemented across diverse coastal areas, expanding blue economies globally.

Flexibility

Multi-use biomass suitable for various industries, including fuel, plastics, and chemicals.

Efficient

We are developing the most cost-effective and efficient seaweed cultivation and processing method.

We’re co-creating different approaches to scale

Pelagic Sargassum Pilot

In collaboration with Seafields, we validated our approach t o growing pelagic Sargassum within a 150 m2 barrier in St Vincent and the Grenadines (Caribbean) in spring 2023.  Together with the Alfred Wegener Institute (Germany), we also developed our proprietary methods to quantify & monitor floating seaweed growth, carbon uptake and environmental impact.

Partners: Seafields Solutions Ltd., Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research

PORTAL G

Our 2000 m2 pilot aquafarm is located at the harbor of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria since August 2024. This innovative pilot Here we will research new innovative methods to grow local seaweeds floating.

Location: Las Palmas in Gran Canaria (SPA)

PLAQUAFARM

In 2025, together with PLOCAN, we will establish our 40.000 m2 aquafarm off-shore in Gran Canaria. Based on the knowledge collected during PORTAL G, we will start upscaling our operations to cultivate and harvest local seaweeds in the ocean. We will process the seaweed to produce biofuels and biochar to help us defossilize our economy and sequester carbon permanently.

Location: Offshore, Gran Canaria (SPA)

Partners: PLOCAN (Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands)

ALGANARIA

As we work to scale offshore operations, we will establish on-land cultivation of the green seaweed Ulva with fish-farming company Aquanaria’s aquaculture facility. Our algae will absorb nutrients as it grows to bio-remediate the water effluent from the fish tanks. We will extract high value compounds for use in materials and nutrition.

Location: Onshore, Gran Canaria (SPA)
