Seadling, which is based in Malaysian Borneo, sees fermenting seaweed for pet food ingredients as the first step towards unlocking greater value from tropical macroalgae.

Brilliant Planet’s unique idea to capture carbon by creating – and then burying – algal blooms in coastal deserts shows great promise, but it will take hundreds millions of dollars of investment before it can fully achieve its ambitious goals.
