It is awesome to see Thalasso AS named an 'Impact Startup to Watch'! 🌊 Big thanks for the mention Impact Shakers and props to Mardeca, Seabound, BetterSea, and SamudraOceans #ImpactStartups #MaritimeDecarbonisation #Thalasso #ImpactShakers
This week's 'Impact Startups to Watch' are focusing on #Maritime #Decarbonisation. The shipping industry accounts for nearly 3% of global emissions, and while maritime trade continues to grow, an exciting crew of innovators is stepping up to tackle this challenge. From smart retrofits to groundbreaking carbon capture tech, these founders are proving that cleaner oceans and greener shipping aren't just pipe dreams. Here are five startups making serious waves in maritime sustainability: Mardeca helps reduce maritime carbon emissions by offering and planning de-risked retrofits that save fuel, cut costs, and support the environment. Seabound builds carbon capture equipment for large cargo ships. Using patent-pending technology, the equipment sits adjacent to a ship's funnel and traps up to 95% of the CO2 from its exhaust. BetterSea provides a one-stop shop for maritime decarbonisation compliance. Thalasso AS is an ocean start-up committed to sustainable seaweed management, turning the sargassum problem into a solution. SamudraOceans is using robotics & AI to build scalable infrastructure for mega-scale seaweed farming at an affordable cost across the planet. #impactstartups #blueeconomy #maritimedecarbonisation

We are excited to be featured in this article on Sustainable Brands highlighting our approach to managing sargassum seaweed with our Ocean Harvester technology and micro-biorefineries. Big thanks to Scarlett Buckley for the spotlight on Thalasso! #sargassum #microbiorefinery #oceanharvester #thalasso #thalassobiotech #sustainablebrands
When it comes to sustainable innovation, seaweed has become a hero on many fronts: From its carbon-sequestration ability to its potential as next-generation packaging materials, methane-reducing livestock feed, sustainable dyes and more, the marine super plant offers innumerable environmental benefits and practical, circular applications. However, one type of seaweed has not received the same appreciation for its potential: sargassum — a prolific alga that plagues beaches across the Caribbean, USA, Mexico and West Africa. Known for its buoyant, brown, leafy appearance, this relentless invader devastates coastal environments and ecosystems — smothering vital habitats such as coral reefs and seagrass beds, and depleting oxygen levels in the water. To add insult to injury, the pungent odor emitted by decaying sargassum repels tourists — turning once-vibrant beaches into malodorous landscapes — which is devastating for coastal communities reliant on tourism revenue. Despite global efforts, eradicating sargassum remains a daunting endeavor. Enter Thalasso AS — a Norwegian startup whose Ocean Harvester technology and micro-biorefineries offer a circular solution for both harvesting sargassum from affected coastal areas and transform it into valuable products. Co-founded by serial entrepreneur Frode Stolen Sønstebø and Paulina Zanela — who joined forces to establish a company dedicated to finding solutions for harvesting and sustainable management of sargassum seaweed. “We envision the combination of innovation, sustainability and community empowerment shaping the overarching narrative of ocean conservation and economic development,” says Zanela. “Our harvester and micro-biorefinery illustrate this vision by utilizing sargassum as a valuable resource across multiple industries, supporting both innovative and sustainable practices.”

Exciting to see our startup mentioned alongside other innovative ventures in the biotech algae space! Sustainability is key in harnessing the potential of this resource, and we're proud to be contributing to its responsible utilization. Thanks to Startups Latam for shedding light on this growing industry! #sargassum #biotech #biotecnologia #algas #startup 🌱🚀
#Latam 🌎 | Conoce a estas startups que están innovando con algas En Latinoamérica, la innovación biotecnológica con algas está concentrando las miradas de los inversionistas. Desde pellets hasta snacks saludables, te invitamos a conocer el creciente mercado de las algas en Sudamérica a través de la historia de quienes, hoy, crean con ellas. Conversamos con María José De La Fuente y Sebastian Gatica M., founders de HuiroRegenerativo; Paulina Zanela y Frode Stolen Sønstebø, de Thalasso BioTech; Daniel Gajardo y Tamara Akentjew de Coral Bio; y Alonso Rodrigo Díaz Delgado y Alejandra Allendes de Quelp, sobre sus innovaciones en la industria. 🎙 “Son un supply súper interesante pero al mismo tiempo muy desafiante. Hay una serie de consideraciones respecto a su origen y extracción: debe ser sustentable y contar con certificaciones. Es un recurso natural que puede ser muy bien aprovechado pero debe ser sustentablemente aprovechado. El desafío no es que no sea una depredación de las algas marinas, sino que se exploten de manera sustentable” Pablo Fernández, partner de fondos enfocados en biotecnología.
