Biome Algae is scaling seaweed farms in the South West of England to build a blue economy.
Seaweeds are fundamental to coastal ecosystems. They help improve or maintain water quality by absorbing nutrients and can draw down 6x the amount of CO2 compared to land-based plants and trees. Seaweed farms have positive effects on biodiversity, including high-priority and commercial species. We have evidence they restore habitats, increase populations and futureproof our valuable marine resources.
Biome spearheads research projects with universities, governments and other organisations, providing data from our farms, as well as access to the farms for researchers, to ensure we fully understand seaweed farming’s impact on life below water.
Our primary and secondary processing capabilities makes Biome Algae unique. We are currently developing our biorefinery, using cutting-edge, multi-extraction processes to achieve zero waste and offer a range of products, from dried seaweed to extracts. Biome is working closely with local farmers in the South West of England to develop a bio-fertiliser. Our bio-fertiliser will replace artificial fertilisers currently used in land-based agriculture. This prevents harmful run-off which enter waterways and the ocean causing harmful algae blooms or hypoxia. We also work with companies such as Notpla, who use seaweed to create sustainable packaging and fight single-use plastic, one of the bigger threats to our ocean.
We aim to be predominantly powered by renewable energy by 2024 and are investing in low carbon technologies, such as our first boat the Seaweed Queen, a 20m hybrid powered vessel - the first of its kind in the UK!
