This startup is using seaweed to sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Running Tide Technologies plans to grow significant amounts of kelp and then bury it at the bottom of the ocean.

One Maine-based startup, Running Tide Technologies, is experimenting with farming kelp, a type of seaweed, in an effort to pull carbon from the air and store it deep beneath the ocean floor, potentially giving the world another nature-based tool to curb climate change.

"The positives for growing kelp is that it grows remarkably fast and the deep water environments it sinks to have really low temperatures which can limit decomposition back to carbon dioxide," Peter Raymond, a professor of ecosystem ecology at Yale, told CNN Business.
