Take giant kelp – giant kelp is a type of seaweed and algae to be precise. And beyond it being greenish and slimy, it does wonders for our environment:
Giant kelp locks away vast amounts of CO2 in ocean sediments. Forever.
This is what blue carbon is all about.
Simply put, blue carbon refers to the carbon that is captured by the world’s ocean and coastal ecosystems. And the reason why it’s so important is because blue carbon strategies are vital in reducing the world’s carbon footprint. They are essential to mitigating and reversing climate change.
At Kelp Blue we’re focused on harnessing the power of giant kelp to lock away C02.
Ni nini kaboni ya bluu na kwa nini kila mtu anazungumza juu yake? Je, unajali mazingira? Bila shaka wewe ni. Mazungumzo kuhusu mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa hayawezi kupuuzwa. Sasa ni wakati wa kutenda na kuharakisha. Kwa hasara kwa jinsi ya kufanya athari kubwa? Utashangaa jinsi baadhi ya suluhisho zinazolenga kupunguza mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ni rahisi. Chukua kelp kubwa <unk> kelp kubwa ni aina ya mwani wa baharini na mwani kwa usahihi. Zaidi ya kuwa na rangi ya kijani na ya matumbo, kelp kubwa huhifadhi kiasi kikubwa cha CO2 katika matope ya bahari. Kwa milele. Hii ni nini kaboni ya bluu ni wote kuhusu. Kwa ufupi, kaboni ya bluu inahusu kaboni ambayo inashikiliwa na bahari ya ulimwengu na mifumo ya ikolojia ya pwani. Na sababu ni muhimu sana ni kwa sababu mikakati ya kaboni ya bluu ni muhimu katika kupunguza alama ya kaboni ya ulimwengu. Ni muhimu kwa kupunguza na kubadilisha mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa. Katika Kelp Blue sisi ni ililenga juu ya harnessing nguvu ya kelp kubwa kufunga mbali C02.
