Pilot Project with about 40 – 50 K Kelp trees and about 400 – 500 hectares and estimated 30 USD / ton = 1.14 Mio USD 

Roll-Out  across 197 miles of possible coastline with about 2 Mio Kelp trees and about 16’000 – 20’000 hectares and estimated 30 USD / ton = 45.6 Mio USD

Scale-Up until Cape Town, ZA, across 2000 miles, but available max. 700 miles and estimated 30 USD / ton = 162 Mio USD 

For mass plantation of kelp forests, sea grass and algae, we will need Giga Ocean Farms in future, which can operate in depths up to 110  meters and more in future, which was not possible in the past. Our new Spheres have a diameter from 4 -6 meters today – and up to 12 meters tomorrow. They can be used to grow, beside Kelp, any kind of algae and also corals. They can be also filled with air. First tests with salad and vegetable were successful up to a depths of 35 meters. The sphere is illuminated and can be lifted and lowered autonomously like a submarine with an air & water tank – to depths with the optimum temperature. This means that we are independent of the topology of the seabed near the coast.  Beside conical shaped hexagons, we test diamond structures.
