“…Seaweeds can be classified as a bioenergy crop as they can produce renewable energy from biomass. The use of seaweeds as feedstock for biofuel is an emerging trend in biorefinery research as one approach to mitigation of atmospheric CO 2 (Bharathiraja et al 2015). For example, Sargassum can be converted to biooil, biogas or biochar through pyrolysis (Kim et al 2013b).…”

Seaweed aquaculture beds (SABs) that support the production of seaweed and their diverse products, cover extensive coastal areas, especially in the Asian-Pacific region, and provide many ecosystem services such as nutrient removal and CO 2 assimilation. The use of SABs in potential carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) mitigation efforts has been proposed with commercial seaweed production in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam, and is at a nascent stage in Australia and New Zealand. We attempted to consider the total annual potential of SABs to drawdown and fix anthropogenic CO 2 . In the last decade, seaweed production has increased tremendously in the Asian-Pacific region. In 2014, the total annual production of Asian-Pacific SABs surpassed 2.61 × 10 6 t dw. Total carbon accumulated annually was more than 0.78 × 10 6 t y −1 , equivalent to over 2.87 × 10 6 t CO 2 y −1 . By increasing the area available for SABs, biomass production, carbon accumulation, and CO 2 drawdown can be enhanced. The conversion of biomass to biofuel can reduce the use of fossil fuels and provide additional mitigation of CO 2 emissions. Contributions

“…The success of such activity highly depends on the supporting environmental factors. Main factors capable of influencing the success of seaweed culture are among others nutrient, clarity, water movement, salinity, depth and the presence of grazer (De San, 2012;Redmond, Green, Yarish, Kim & Neefus, 2014;Yang et al, 2015;Bharathiraja et al, 2015).…”

“…Seaweed also brings another benefit, i.e. as the source of biodiesel and bioenergy (Bruhn et al, 2011;Borines, de Leon & Cuello, 2013;Jaap et al, 2014;Bharathiraja et al, 2015;Ghadiryanfar, Rosentrater, Keyhani & Omid, 2016;Jiang, Ingle & Golberg, 2016). According to the result of the study, seaweeds of high economic value and is potential to be cultivated in Indonesian water as producers are among others Gracilaria as agarophyte producer, Eucheuma and Kappaphycus as carraginophyte producers, and Sargassum and Turbinaria as alginophyte producers (DoMF Sulteng, 2009).…”

Seaweed is a promising fishery product. Potential aquaculture of which in Lampung Province is estimated around 2260.5 ha. Several seaweed farming efforts have been carried out in Lampung Bay (Indonesia). However, they faced failure. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out spatial analysis to understand the level of seaweed farming suitability in the bay. This study was carried out in five observation site groups with total 20 sampling points and employed survey through spatial and temporal approaches as the study method. Geo-statistical model was used for earth surface mapping, both for biotic and abiotic components. Each station was then be given value to determine suitability class. The class was determined by making aquatic suitability matrix for each physical, chemical and biological parameter. Results acquired indicate that Lampung Bay area is not suitable as seaweed farming site. However the area is open for any suggestion.

Dzięki temu stanowią cenne źródło biomasy, wykorzystywanej jako odnawialny surowiec w wielu gałę-ziach przemysłu [3,4]. Mogą one także asymilować dwutlenek węgla z zanieczyszczonego spalinami powietrza oraz pełnić rolę "bionawozów" (poprzez wiąza-nie azotu atmosferycznego) lub dodatków do pasz [5].…”
