A curated library of the science, technology, and industry research shaping our work, from the economics of sargassum to the pyrolysis technology that turns it into clean carbon. Each link opens the original source.

Economic Impact

New study quantifies sargassum's multi-million dollar impact to U.S. coastal economies

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)

Researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the University of Rhode Island combined economic modeling with satellite and fisheries data to estimate the multi-million dollar annual losses sargassum blooms inflict on tourism, recreation, and fishing across Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida's Atlantic coast, and show how forecasting tools can strengthen coastal planning and response.

Technology

Fully Continuous Pyrolysis Plant

Ming Jie Group

A manufacturer's overview of a fully continuous pyrolysis plant: industrial equipment that thermally breaks feedstock down in an oxygen-free reactor into oil, carbon/char, and combustible gas, running continuously rather than in batches. It illustrates the class of pyrolysis technology behind SeaSmart's approach to converting sargassum into biochar and energy.

Industry Data

US Tire Recycling: Facts and Statistics

Gradeall

An industry overview of tire-waste management in the United States: roughly 280 million tires are discarded each year (over five million tons), now recovered at about a 76% rate versus under 30% in the 1990s. It reviews processing methods and end uses, including tire-derived fuel (about 43% of recovered material), a large, hard-to-recycle stream relevant to SeaSmart's pyrolysis platform.
