About the project
We need to create value by recycling our emissions. Not only due to resource scarcity, but also to create local circular regenerative bioeconomies that restore the planetary boundaries and health. SeaFree will transform emissions into revenue streams by developing a novel eco-industrial symbiosis, integrating an innovative seaweed production system – the Seaweed Synergy Plug’N’Play solution - into existing land-based Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) producing both fresh and storage stable green seaweed and emission free fish and shrimps.

The SeaFree project moves the seafood sector into the era of the regenerative circular economy enabling zero emission land-based seafood production. The innovative design of the Seaweed Synergy Plug’N’Play solution allows for Heat, CO2 and nutrient Emission Capture and Utilisation (HECU) into seaweed production, expanding RAS into Integrated Multitrophic Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (IMRAS).
Innovative food products and every day meal recipes with green seaweed will be developed with focus on taste and nutritional quality. The recipes and products will be distributed and disseminated via existing consumer channels, and new markets will be opened for seaweed food supplements and clinical nutrition. Consumer surveys will evaluate transition of societal readiness. Integral system analysis will document the SeaFree sustainability and techno-economy, and develop consumer readiness and market projections scenarios.
More about the project
This way of innovation existing RAS into Integrated Multitrophic Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (IMRAS), will be subjected to a combined environmental and economic sustainability assessment.
The whole industrial ecology system will be producing multiple output products designed according to the economy of scope. The product portfolio is expanded to include high quality Ulva in the marked strategy of Skagenfood.
