The world is rapidly growing to more than 10 billion people whilst it needs to meet climate targets. Protein & energy transition are key. GOA fits both. 70% of the earth’s surface is aquatic and 48 million km² of this space is suitable for seaweed farming. Seaweed can grow rapidly. It can grow in a controlled manner. It captures CO₂ in short cycles. With innovative processing technology seaweed can replace animal based protein, chemical polymers and fossil fuels in one process flow. Hence, it offers fourfold carbon reduction.

The current seaweed market is small-scaled and mainly works with dried seaweed. GOA-Ventures wants to upscale the seaweed potential. Only with upscaling can we create serious impact in carbon reduction. Only with upscaling can we foresee an improved economic model. GOA has a unique patented bio-refining approach to extract maximum value from seaweed. With beyond benchmark results. Yields improve. And – working with fresh seaweed – quality of products substantially improves. GOA sells patented turnkey seaweed biorefinery solutions across the world. GOA enables local communities to co-design a roadmap for upscaling seaweed and the sales of derived products.
