Turning CO2 to stone and growing carbon-negative food: on the trail of innovation in Iceland
Iceland’s unique landscape makes it a hotbed of exciting eco-innovations and technologies that have the potential to protect our environment and make the world a better place. In this episode of The Edge author and digital consultant Tom Goodwin discovers:
A vertical farm that uses 100% renewable energy to grow leafy veg in the cold Icelandic winter. (Andri Björn Gunnarsson, CEO of Vaxa farms)
A super-sustainable ‘energy to food’ platform making microalgae which could change the way the world eats. (Kristinn Hafliðason, Vaxa Impact Nutrition )
Incredible technology that can extract CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into stone. (Dr. Sandra Ósk Snæbjörnsdóttir, Carbfix)

We don't know anything about Life..
Food is not only nutrients, it is also solar energy stored in a form that we cannot reproduce with light bulbs.
And what about the soil's bacteria ? If you think it's not important, know that you have 2 kg of them in your gut and you can't live without them.

Related to population's groth: rather than quantity we need quality.

Zero CARBON = Zero LIFE !!
all life on Earth is Carbon based.
More CO2
More plants
More food
More people can eat….is that the problem?
RELEASE the Carbon via co2 back into the Circle of Life.
CO2 = Green Planet

Iceland is part of the Arctic Circle , with Greenland – Denmark , Canada , Alaska , Russia, Norway , Sweden and Finland. Until Solar , Wind, Wave, Hydrogen , Batteries , etc. Energies can be produced in volume , the People in the Arctic depends on Oil ,Gas and Nuclear. We should not dismiss them right away or we can find ourselves unable to warm our homes and businesses. Europe should demand Middle East stops drilling for Oil and Gas before asking for Arctic Circle to stop using Oil and Gas.Or stop drilling in the Mediterranean which is very dangerous , before worrying about the Arctic . Unnecessary energy suicide is not a smart policy , in my opinion.

Thanks Iceland ! Brilliant projects and practical solutions . If anyone can use the next generation of Semiconductors is Iceland , and to develop smarter Energy , Food and Human solutions. Can't wait to see what they could come up for Greenland massive Fresh Water and Earth assets.

Iceland – industrial killer of whales.
An almost identical skit to that of the BBC's Click programme last week, right down to the algae drink.
