The seaweed rush – Great report

The seaweed rush Great report

It is a booming market which today weighs 15 billion euros in the world, and which is still largely untapped. Algae, potentially veritable green gold, suffer from a bad reputation, largely due to the green tides or other Sargassum algae that wash up on the coasts. Yet they could also provide solutions to major global challenges such as carbon sequestration or world hunger.

Used in the fields of food, cosmetics, pharmacopoeia and even agriculture, seaweed is now an asset, particularly for France, which is the world’s tenth largest producer.
