Even Bigger!
We also have raised 75% of the funds to build the first hectare of Marine Permaculture. Once the deployment team is satisfied with their tests on the 1000m2 platform, our next step will be to scale up another 10x to build the first full hectare, which is the point where we model that our platforms will be profitable (besides already attracting and becoming habitat for fish, lowering acidification and helping to lower CO2 in the atmosphere). From then on our aim is to scale up and have a dozen hectares of Marine Permaculture operating in the coming years building the Marine Permaculture Industry around food, feed, and fertilizer value chains - which will begin with seaweed biostimulants.
Marine Permaculture platforms will have a significant climate impact both from seaweed biostimulants that reduce NPK fertilizer use by 20% while maintaining yields and by measuring the flux of seaweed falling from platforms and sinking to the seafloor. Once operating at scale, we anticipate that 100 hectares of Marine Permaculture (or 1Km2) will have a climate impact of 30,000 tonnes of CO2 by displacing 22,000 tonnes CO2e of emissions associated with the manufacture and use of NPK fertilizers and sequestering 8000 tonnes CO2 into the deep ocean for long term sequestration.
To a better tomorrow,
