It’s all to play for now , news will start to flow over the next few weeks
Skincare updates joined now with Kingtide updates surely will show they have a plan ( about time in my opinion ) , a bit of info below on biochar
Regarding kelp as a feedstock for biochar, it is a promising area of research due to several factors:
• High Growth Rate: Kelp and other seaweeds grow much faster than terrestrial biomass, offering a potentially sustainable and rapidly renewable feedstock.
• Carbon Sequestration: Using kelp for biochar could effectively sequester carbon. Kelp absorbs CO2 from the ocean during growth, and converting it into biochar could lock away this carbon for long periods.
• Ocean Health: Cultivating kelp for biochar could have ancillary benefits for ocean ecosystems, like improving water quality and providing habitat for marine life.
• Minimal Land Use: Kelp farming does not require arable land, making it an attractive option in regions where land is scarce or unsuitable for traditional agriculture.
• Nutrient Recycling: Kelp biochar could return valuable nutrients to the soil, benefiting agricultural practices.
However, there are challenges too, such as the logistics of harvesting and processing kelp, ensuring the sustainability of kelp farming, and the economic viability of the process. As with any emerging technology, continued research and development are crucial to fully understand the potential and limitations of using kelp as a feedstock for biochar.
