What's shipping. What's about to. Who's joining. The journey since 2018, in entries.
Somewhere off the coast of Mexico, a vessel moves slowly through open water. It’s not fishing. It’s not surveying. It’s hunting seaweed. Why? To take carbon out of the atmosphere, while buying fragile coastlines a little more time. That vessel is the latest chapter in a story that started 25 years ago, underwater. A career…
On May 15th, Carbon Farmers‘ Lars Hillewaere is committing to a crazy project: he will run 100 km along the entire shoreline of Belgium, his home country. With this act on the International Day of the North Sea, he wants to raise awareness for our oceans and their precious biodiversity. That’s why he’s also raising…
On the final day of the Double Nature Summit – May 25 – we gathered in Amsterdam with entrepreneurs, scientists, philanthropists, policy makers, civil servants, funders, people with indigenous perspectives, NGOs, and civil society to weave all the insights together. We explored the idea of humanity as a keystone species in a stewarding role, equipping…
We would like to warmly invite you to the first four-day Double Nature Summit ever, organised from May 22nd to May 25th, with international partners, in the Netherlands and (partly) online. The summit is for pioneers, scientists, investors and policymakers or for those simply interested in these fields. The leading question is: how to regeneratively double nature to re-store…
One of our pioneer members is Bram Geers (33), also known as Azolla Bram. Raised in and around greenhouses with all kinds of cactusses (!) in the Westland in the Netherlands, Bram decided to study
How to turn a huge problem into a climate solution? On January 13 2021 we presented an update on our Sargassum Cleanup project during our Double Nature Talk at 8 pm CET. Around 40 people attended. In the last decade Sargassum Seaweed has become a plague in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean and Gulf of…
Carbon accounting in the new nature economy Can we create a business case for nature, without exploiting nature? Better yet, can we create a business case that contributes to carbon removal and the regeneration of our land and oceans? In our brand new article we presents how it can be done.
It seems like seaweed has almost infinite possibilities. It sequesters CO2 faster than plants and trees. A real carbon sucker and regenerator of the oceans. All kinds of value chains become more and more feasible, like BlueBlocks.
Two members of our Sargassum Cleanup Expedition Team, Peter Lindeman and Fons Janssen, have safely arrived on Saint Martin on Augustus 31 2020. For two weeks they’re observing the Sargassum seaweed
Finally, the time was right to tell the world about our Sargassum Cleanup project. Seaweed is potentially a super scalable climate solution with incredible benefits.

Our seaweed lab is growing and growing. We started growing Ulva Lactuca (sea lettuce) with one basin from Hortimare (thanks!) and we completed our lab with 6 basins this week. Together with the port of Amsterdam, we’re aiming to scale up the growth of seaweed in Dutch waters and abroad. The Climate Cleanup Capacity of…
