Fast fact: How kelp farms capture more CO2 than trees

Transcript

Imagine a lush underwater garden where kelp farms work tirelessly to capture carbon. These vibrant marine forests can fix roughly 40 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare every year – a rate that far exceeds what most terrestrial trees can achieve. While our forests absorb carbon too, the ocean acts as our planet s giant natural carbon vault, storing up to 93 percent of the Earth s carbon dioxide. Kelp farms not only offer an innovative solution to climate change by sequestering carbon at unmatched speeds, they also provide thriving habitats for marine life and help create a more sustainable future.
