A DW video looks at Kelp Blue's giant kelp farming project off Namibia's Atlantic coast. The company is growing underwater forests to capture CO2, support marine biodiversity, and produce ingredients for fertilizer. The project is still tracking its carbon sequestration performance, and no verified numbers have been released yet. The idea is that large scale kelp farming could help fight climate change while creating jobs in a region with limited economic options. Giant kelp is one of the fastest growing organisms in nature, but the real test is whether the carbon removal can be measured and sold under existing market rules. For carbon market watchers, this is an early stage blue carbon story with open questions about measurement, verification, and cost. Worth keeping an eye on if the project publishes concrete data.
