Sequim scientists developing seaweed line as next wave of future in fuel
Officials with the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory recently announced it received funding to investigate making seaweed, or macroalgae, into biofuel from a new autonomous rope system that floats along the ocean.
In 2018, Huesemann will lead the effort to design and produce the NOMAD system, or Nautical Offshore Macroalgal Autonomous Device, that will be deployed in Washington state waters with approximate 5-kilometer strands of carbon-fiber rope that cultivates seaweed in an open-ocean farm.
