George Birch, Founder and Business Lead of Oyster Heaven, aims to restore North Sea oyster reefs. Overharvesting ruined these vital ecosystems. Oyster Heaven’s biodegradable Mother Reef aids oyster growth, proven successful in the Netherlands and Denmark.
Partnering with local fishermen, they offer new income opportunities and cost-effective restoration at €0.25 per oyster, funding sustainable ocean restoration projects.
Our oceans are a significant sink for anthropogenic carbon, absorbing roughly a third of human CO2 emitted over the industrial period. Harnessing it to capture and store more carbon through nature based solutions like growing kelp to capture carbon, or seaweed to aid a plant-based diet is a key part of the solution.

Arbon Earth combats climate change by combining kelp and bamboo to maximize carbon sequestration. They have developed floating Oceanpods made from bamboo and biodegradable ropes, allowing kelp to grow and create micro-ecosystems that enhance biodiversity through Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA). These Oceanpods, deployed offshore in the Atlantic, support marine life and, once mature, the algae sinks to the seabed, sequestering carbon for thousands of years. Arbon Earth conducts fundamental research on ecosystem impacts and scaling logistics to enhance their method's effectiveness.
Founded by Magnus Willner and Carl Lindberg, Arbon Earth collaborates with scientists and companies to scale their innovative carbon removal technique, aiming to significantly mitigate climate change.
