Seaweed forest has Become a well for anyone looking for solutions to some of the world's largest environmental issues. Companies have a sense of climate using seaweed instead of oil -derived materials to produce products such as sustainable. Shopping bag And interior. Planting lots of seaweed forests has been praised as a way Carbon sequentiallyWhile harvesting seaweed is being put into animal feed An effort to cure diseases Cow full of methane.
Now, a company is called Marine biology Want to catch a trip on the wave of seaweed by hitting these ocean trees into a fermented mud. Startup's goal is to finally collect millions of seaweed, liquefied and preserved, then analyze that Good has clogged and separated it into its base components. From there, minerals, proteins or carbohydrates can be broken, extracted and used for a range of consumer applications.
The first place that good will go is into your foodAs emulsifiers are used in many types of food production. After that, it is possible that other products like cosmetics and anything are made of plastic. First, the company just wants to collect all that sweet, sweet seaweed data.
Patrick Griffin Biological CEO from his previous life in finance and cryptocurrencies, he was the first employee at Blockchain Ripple. But his time working directly in the cryptocurrency world ended suddenly after a terrible surfing accident.
Buried by a wave in the ocean, Griffin's surfboard hit his face while he drifted in water and pierced his left eyeball, then had to be removed. It was a painful experience that he said has left him a very different view of life and priority. “I really embarked on a journey in thinking, ok, what will the next chapter be?” Griffin said.
Finally, the experience motivated him to leave behind Blockchain And cryptocurrencyThe industry is also very The climate is not friendly And there are many Carbon footprints. He left Ripple and started his own company with a nickname underwater.
This is a little cliché, he admitted. You make your bones in cryptocurrencies and then you launch a climate technology company.
Ironically, the accident made him excited about the ocean again. He saw a gap in the market the ability to climate in the form of basic construction materials. Even if all the world's taking efforts to recover the world have worked the opportunity to have the opportunity to enable the opportunity, renewable energy investment products are often built on the platform of plastic or other oil -based materials.
The chemicals and materials we use today are all built on oil, according to Mr. Griffin Griffin. This is the last part of the puzzle that you really will have to leave to create a big impact.
He thinks seaweed or macroalgae, because any of the thousands of species of ocean plants that are classified may be a way to do that. Compared to terrestrial vegetation, the seaweed grows rapidly (sometimes Too fast) and have rich chemical synthetic materials but widely transformed. To be able to rely on a consistent source of different chemical components that can be found in seaweed, you will first need to have a way to collect data about the tree itself.
If people better understand the chemicals of seaweed, we can better understand the markets that can handle them, according to Spencer Serin, the company's scientific director, Spencer Serin said. And that will rely on the standard testing strategies for seaweed need to be very open and transparent and perform at high levels.
