A Review on Seaweed as a Renewable Energy Source and Future Crop for Combating Climate Change

Abstract

Seaweed, or marine macroalgae, is gaining significant interest as an alternative solution for addressing climate change due to its impressive capability to capture and store carbon dioxide, as well as its potential as a sustainable energy source. Given the present worldwide emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and shifting towards sustainable energy sources, seaweed emerges as an outstanding option for tackling these crucial issues. Seaweed, being a highly efficient and rapidly growing organism, can serve as a valuable source of biofuel and biomaterials while also playing a vital role in lowering the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on the environment. This highlights the immediate urgency to look into and harness the vast value of seaweed as a sustainable and environmentally friendly resource for the future.
