Kelp Blue in Lüderitz - Locking away Carbon Dioxide through Kelp

An exciting new project off the coast of Lüderitz has the potential to reverse some of the damage done through emissions of greenhouse gasses and create some much-needed jobs in the little harbour town.
The effects of global warming have started to rear their ugly head across the world. They range from higher temperatures, increased fire threats and severe droughts to more, intense storms. In Namibia, a drought-prone country, a changing climate can greatly affect not only ecosystems but also peoples livelihoods.
Kelp Blue is a company that believes the answer lies in growing and managing large-scale Giant Kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests to safely lock away vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the oceans forever. Kelp forests provide food and shelter for a great array of marine species. This helps to sustain a healthy marine ecosystem by increasing fish stocks and diversity. Furthermore, Kelp Blue wants to ensure the success and lasting impact of this project through the creation of an in-house value chain that also includes harvesting, processing and sales and marketing.
