Ocean-grown seaweed on scale in the ocean to decarbonise supply chains
Through proprietary R&D, Nordic SeaFarm has unlocked the ability to grow sustainable biomass (seaweed) on massive scale in the ocean. Seaweed is a functional crop with an ultra-low climate footprint. It has the potential to play a vital role in decarbonising industries and transforming future applications. It contains structural fibres and nutrition, and can help substitute fossil-based raw materials in future material applications, e.g. bioplastics, coatings and packaging solutions.
The need
EU emissions need to be cut by at least 55% by 2030 and supply chains decarbonised. Europe’s oceans are underutilised in producing raw materials for bioplastics, energy and food. Seaweed is a regenerative biomass with an ultra-low climate footprint that can play a vital role in this transformation.
The solution
Through proprietary R&D, Nordic SeaFarm has unlocked the ability to grow sustainable biomass (seaweed) on massive scale in the ocean. Seaweed is a functional crop with an ultra-low climate footprint. It has the potential to play a vital role in decarbonising industries and transforming future applications.

The value proposition
Seaweed is processed into valuable sub-products such as:
- Materials: Granulates and formulations to be used within packaging, and bioplastics.
- Food: Sustainable ingredient to add nutrition and taste.
- Plant care: Organic source of nitrogen and phosphorous used in regenerative farming practices and enhance plant yield.
