Lemna Pro Climate Tech relevance
Lemna (Duckweed) boasts an incredibly rapid reproduction rate, meaning it can absorb carbon dioxide quickly through photosynthesis. This rapid growth allows for a high biomass production, which translates to more carbon sequestered. Lemna doesn't require soil, making it suitable for growth on various surfaces like wastewater ponds or dedicated ponds. This simplifies cultivation and reduces land use compared to traditional tree plantation. Lemna can absorb excess nutrients from wastewater, acting as a bioremediation tool while simultaneously capturing carbon.
These qualities make lemna plantations a promising option for carbon sequestration. However, there's still ongoing research to determine its full potential:
