The Seaweed Carrier

SES has patented a modern cultivation concept to enable mass seaweed cultivation on an industrial scale in the world's oceans. Inspired by biomimicry, the Seaweed Carrier is a sheet-like structure that basically copies a very large seaweed plant where seaweed can be seeded and grown on.

The Seaweed Carrier cultivation concept makes a clean break with past seaweed cultivation methods that have all been based on ropes - a step which could put the world considerably closer to developing the huge potential seaweed has as a renewable source of energy and other purposes.

SES' vision is that the Seaweed Carrier will allow seaweed cultivation to become a possibility in deeper and more exposed waters, opening the way for large scale production that is necessary to make seaweed a viable source of energy.
