Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre, Media Release, 4 July 2021
21st July at 3pm – 5pm (AEST) – Register
Worldwide, seaweed cultivation and utilisation are multi-billion dollar industries, yet Australasia plays little role in either.
This is set to change, with growing interest in using our coastal and offshore waters to produce seaweeds that will not only provide high-value products for global markets, but will help mitigate human carbon emissions both directly through products that lower methane emissions and indirectly through long term carbon sequestration.
This Blue Economy CRC webinar will feature four experts who will talk directly to the utility of seaweed farming and how this fits with the goals and milestones of the Blue Economy CRC.
Presenters:
- Dr Brian von Herzen (Climate Foundation)
- Dr Sunny Sanderson (Kelp Blue)
- Prof Craig Johnson (UTAS)
- Dr Tomas Remenyi (Southern Ocean Carbon Company)
