Forget deep sea mining. This startup is getting critical minerals from seaweed instead Seaweed absorbs rare minerals and elements from seawater as it grows. A new initiative from Blue Evolution, called Orca Minerals, aims to harvest the materials.

We’re honored to see our work featured in Fast Company, highlighting how Blue Evolution and our new initiative, Orca Minerals, are creating a cleaner way to source critical minerals for the clean energy future. www.fastcompany.com/91328593/why...

Deep-Sea Mining vs. Biomining: one scrapes the ocean floor, while the other grows with it.

By farming seaweed, we sustainably source valuable resources from the ocean, 🌊 reduce reliance on freshwater for agriculture, mitigate ocean acidification, and significantly lowering our customers’ greenhouse gas footprints.

FDA-backed report: US women, children not eating enough seafood “[The report] is a significant one that clearly highlights the amount of fish women and children eat falls well below [U.S.] recommendations,”

A recent report highlights that women and children in the U.S. are not consuming enough #seafood as recommended by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. We believe that #seaweed, a nutrient-rich, vegan seafood, can be part of the answer.

On #Seaweed: “They’re a prolific sponge – they soak up nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon and a lot of minerals, and so in this first pass at the content analysis, we got a certain set of signals around REEs and precious metals, like rhodium, palladium and scandium.” -Beau Perry

#Seaweed can sequester carbon 10 to 75 times more effectively than terrestrial forests, but its benefits extend far beyond being a #carbonsink. It plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
