The Nature Conservancy and Bain & Company recently completed a report on how to support near-term growth in seaweed farming over the next five to ten years: “Analysis of Farmed Seaweed Carbon Crediting and Novel Markets to Help Decarbonize Supply Chains.”
One of the report’s key takeaways is that seaweed carbon crediting is not likely to provide significant enough economic incentives to drive seaweed growth under current conditions. However, they are optimistic about the potential for biostimulants and to a lesser extent, seaweed bioplastics, to drive markets and create carbon benefits.
