ABSTRACT Blue carbon habitats, which exhibit high rates of natural sequestration, typically refer to salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangrove forests. Recent studies, however, have argued for the inclusion seaweed‐dominated like kelp forests, into blue frameworks. Farmed seaweed may also function as a habitat, with large‐scale aquaculture suggested climate change mitigation strategy, but evidence base remains limited. Here, existing knowledge on mechanisms influencing uptake, release, transport, storage from farms was synthesised, literature review conducted quantify associated sequestration. We identified strong geographical methodological biases in literature, majority studies Asia focusing primary production proxy sequestration potential. Estimates release were highly variable across locations, species, approaches, scarcity research dissolved organic carbon, sedimentary net ecosystem productivity identified. Although European farming industry is its infancy, it predicted expand meet increasing demand biomass. This incentivised by perceived service benefits such enhanced However, multiple factors including environmental concerns, lack quantitative evidence, operational challenges, regulatory complexities hinder expansion. Based both synthesised empirical an examination key barriers gaps, we identify future challenges priorities needed assess role mitigation.

Seaweed Aquaculture for Carbon Farming: An Assessment Under the EU's QU.A.L.ITY (Quantification, Additionality, Long‐Term Storage, Sustainability) Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2025

ABSTRACT There is growing interest in establishing a seaweed farming industry Europe, and this has the potential for being mechanism atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The EU recognises of CDR to help meet climate change targets, but also acknowledges importance creating credible markets ecosystem services (ES) through voluntary promote sustainable investment avoid claims greenwashing. In response this, proposed framework (termed QU.A.L.ITY) establishment certification schemes, based on four criteria quantifiable, additionality, long‐term storage overall sustainability. While aquaculture holds could QU.A.L.ITY generic level, specific projects face hurdles data collection, standardized methodologies, sediment protection regulations, applicability taxonomy. Robust frameworks like EU's are crucial greenwashing ensure action CDR.

Prospective seaweed systems for North-West European waters

ICES Journal of Marine Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 82(2)

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

Abstract Seaweed is a potential source of sustainable food, feed, cosmetics, biomaterials, and biostimulants. currently mainly grown in Asia, it unclear which seaweed systems are best suited for North-West European waters. We use an expert workshop written feedback round to identify prospective systems, including the cultivation site post-harvest stages, three different contexts. Independent context, there preference cultivating multiple species having high level automation. Depending on optimal choice with regards scale, substrate, seeding technique, integration farming (shell)fish differs. Profitability availability (large-scale) processing facilities ships go offshore, uncertainty buyers, obstacles seed stock availability, permits, building infrastructures present key challenges risks. The identified serve as input policy debate around alternative resource production Europe can help developing standards system design. Furthermore, researchers technology providers future profitability assessments directions developments.

The Dynamic Influence of Uncertainty on Sector Equity Funds: A Time-Frequency Analysis of Oil, Gold, and Market Volatility

Опубликована: Окт. 28, 2024

This research employs a time-frequency approach to explore the interrelations among US sector equity ETFs, oil, gold, overall stock market, and various uncertainty indicators across different time horizons from 2019 2023. It utilizes frequency-dependent spillover index strategies for portfolio hedging construct its findings. The analysis reveals that market's anticipation of volatility in market next 30 days, as measured by VIX, significantly influences ETFs over both short long durations. influence is succeeded expectations oil price volatility, denoted OVX. Among uncertainty, impact economic policy on found be minimal. Comparatively, exhibits more pronounced than observed frames. interactions measures display non-uniform nature, being term intensifying during periods financial distress instability. From perspective, emerges superior hedge against ETF immediate extended terms, with Consumer Staples showing greatest efficiency.
