Seaweed farming
Combining wind and seaweed farming at sea
At the Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm, a project called North Sea Farm 1 is running. This initiative is led by North Sea Farmers and funded by Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund. The five-hectare seaweed farm, located within our offshore wind farm, is testing and improving seaweed cultivation techniques.
In Denmark, at our Kriegers Flak and Vesterhav wind farms, we are also developing projects that integrate offshore wind power with seaweed and mussel farming. These projects aim to build the practical experience needed to produce fossil-free energy and sustainable food within the same ocean space. The seaweed can be used for products like Seaweed Salad, Seaweed Snacks, and Smoothies. Additionally, seaweed farming helps to lower nutrients in the water, which can benefit the health of the marine environment.
