Harvesting, Fertilising, Revolutionising

  • Summary

  • Seaweed has long been touted as an important resource in the battle against climate change, thanks to its rapid growth and ability to absorb carbon dioxide.

    Inspired by conversations with a community garden group in Scotland and the founder of a company producing sustainable materials from seaweed, Emma Newman imagines a world in which new materials replace plastics and fossil fuels are replaced by different types of biomass, including seaweed.

    In episode 9 we heard from:

    • Professor Chris Chuck from Kelpi
    • Danielle Banks from Seaweed Gardens
    • Lewis Hou from Science Ceilidh
    • Author Gary L. Powell
