Description

      The present invention relates to a business model of seaweed, especially cultured kelp.

Technical background

      Due to the rapid industrial development after World War II and the massive use of fossil fuels with good combustion efficiency, emissions of global warming gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitric oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons, Deforestation to increase food production accompanying population growth, especially the loss of tropical rainforest, desertification of grassland due to excessive grazing, etc., the natural environment regeneration ability on the earth is significantly weakened, and global warming rapidly progresses abnormally The weather continues, resulting in a further decline in its ability to regenerate.

      On the other hand, in the ocean, which accounts for two-thirds of the earth, there were many kinds of organisms, plants, and minerals that could not be compared to land, but the destruction of the coastal environment due to recent rapid industrialization. Overexploitation of resources and the above-mentioned devastation on land have led to the depletion of some organisms and plants, and the beginning of affecting the natural phenomena of the entire earth.

      In view of this situation, the biggest cause is the GHG such as carbon dioxide, methane, etc. that promotes global warming. Regarding the reduction of emissions of these gases (increase in absorption) in Kyoto, As a result, an international agreement has been reached and the Kyoto Protocol has come into effect.

す。The main points of this protocol are as follows.
1. Regarding the greenhouse gas emissions of developed countries, legally binding numerical targets are set for each country.
2. Introduce a mechanism to achieve the goal jointly internationally. (Emissions trading, clean development mechanism, joint implementation, etc.)
3. New obligations such as numerical targets will not be introduced to developing countries.
4). The target gas is carbon dioxide, methane, nitric oxide, HFC, PEC, SF6, and the like.
5. For sinks, include the amount of greenhouse gas absorbed by sinks such as forests.
6. The base year is 1990, but may be HRC, PFC, SF6 leaf 1995.
7. The target period is from 2000 to 2012.

The

    Therefore, each country or company that emits a large amount of the above-mentioned greenhouse gases is obliged to achieve the allocated reduction target by such agreement of each country, and if this target cannot be achieved, it will be achieved. If it becomes necessary to make up for the shortfall by purchasing these products from countries or companies that have made it possible, or if they have been able to reduce emissions below the target by developing superior carbon fixation technology, etc., this reduction amount Is now available to sell to the country or other companies, creating a huge market for carbon dioxide trading.

      On the other hand, accurate verification of such greenhouse gas emission reductions can be performed relatively easily and accurately with precision measuring instruments, etc., in secondary industry production sites such as power generation, fuel gas production, and steel industry. In fact, verification of carbon dioxide fixation in the natural world by forests, oceans, seaweeds, etc. has no accurate measurement methods other than relying on various hypotheses or theories, and is still not standardized.

Currently, the monetary value evaluation of the multi-functionality of forestry is estimated at 70,263.8 billion yen, of which the value of carbon dioxide absorption is said to account for 1,239.1 billion yen. Value is considered zero. Such a conclusion is based on Dauss's hypothesis published in 1981, but it is presumed that a reliable method for verifying carbon dioxide absorption has not been established yet.
On the other hand, Longhurst's analysis based on scientific research using artificial satellites announced in 1995 shows that the number of absorption is 45 to 51 billion tons / year, which is extremely reliable. It has been announced.
Recently, a few researchers have published a theory that the annual CO2 absorption capacity per square meter of seaweed, such as Honda Walla, forcing cultured kelp, is more than twice that of the rainforest.

t
Since these figures were obtained using the most reliable satellites, we changed our past view that CO2 sinks are only forest sinks and focused on the ability to absorb seaweeds. However, there is an opinion that the primary production capacity of coastal seaweed, especially forcibly cultured kelp, and its CO2 absorption capacity should be reviewed.
In addition, inner bays such as kelp and seaweed, and offshore aquaculture methods have been remarkably improved and continued to be developed for their technology and facilities. As a result of the highly accurate measurement method, the production volume calculation is extremely reliable. For this calculation, reporting and verification, it is a greenhouse gas emission reduction source suitable for ISO 14064 compatible systems. There has also been a claim that it should be recognized.

From this momentum, in recent years, business models for greenhouse gas emission trading by CO2 fixation of oceans, deep water, seaweed, etc. have begun to be proposed as national and huge enterprise projects. Has been disclosed.
For example, deep seawater is pumped up with electric power obtained by using sunlight or wind power, and this is dispersed in the air to absorb CO2 gas in the air. The absorbed seawater is taken into the sea and taken in. A business model has been proposed in which the amount of CO2 gas obtained is calculated, third-party certification is obtained using this amount as the amount of CO2 emission reduction, and sales are conducted after this certification.

On the other hand, the activation technology of the carbon dioxide fixation capacity of the coast, the carbon dioxide fixation technology of corals by breeding coral reefs, the carbon dioxide fixation technology by building a bivalve breeding ground, the fixation by setting up a seaweed breeding ground The carbon dioxide fixation amount obtained by the technology and CO2 absorption and fixation technology by mangrove vegetation is measured and calculated, and this is managed by a computer. There is also disclosed a model for authenticating the quantity and the like, and selling it to an environmentally burdensome company or nation that requires a carbon dioxide emission right obtained with this certification as collateral via a communication circuit.
Japanese Patent No. 3587716 JP2005-129088

    The present invention is also a business model carried out by the state, a large company, or a corporate community. As a business model in the ocean, CO2 emission trading created by seaweed, especially forcing cultured kelp, various secondary products made from this cultured kelp, etc. The issue is to provide business models related to the transactions of materials, products, technologies, machinery, and facilities.

However, the biggest problem to solve this problem is how to measure and quantify the fixed or reduced greenhouse gas and measure it.
In this respect, the conformity of the international standard “ISO 14064” used for calculation, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emission reductions is limited to forest timber only. As mentioned above, it is not adapted to marine and marine plants that are difficult to calculate.

    Contrary to this reality, the vastness of the ocean, the speed of growth of underwater plants, and the amount of gas absorption (fixed amount) per unit volume is a value that is not comparable to that of wood, As indicated by the analysis of Longhurst as described above, from the accuracy of remote sensing using recent satellites, the momentum and movement of entry into the global warming gas emission market in this aquaculture field It is also true that the rise in the height of the rise is so high that it cannot be ignored.

    In particular, the planned productivity seaweed aquaculture business (ALGA), whose results are easier to quantify than forests, is the only rational primary industry that can significantly increase the fixation of CO2 gas outside of forests. Yes, using “Kyoto mechanism” to achieve CO2 reduction targets by utilizing market principles, “JI” (joint implementation) of developed countries and “CDM” (developed from developed countries' CO2 emission reduction technology) The creation of a seaweed aquaculture business model with extremely high market value is beginning to attract much attention for commercialization of “clean development mechanism” that captures the reduction amount.

      The biggest challenge of the primary marine industry for entering the greenhouse gas emission market is how to enjoy third-party certification to ensure the accuracy, reliability, transparency, etc. of the emission right. Since it is as described above, it is presumed that the right of the emission right is difficult to be granted to the techniques and phenomena of Patent Documents 1 and 2 which are lacking in concreteness.

    That is, the model of Patent Document 1 draws deep ocean water using electric power obtained from sunlight, wind power, etc., and disperses it in the air to absorb carbon dioxide in the air. This is a business model related to the technology to reduce CO2 gas in the air, but it is clear that this carbon dioxide absorption rate is significantly affected by natural phenomena, and its dissolved concentration can be determined from the vast and rapidly changing sea. It is difficult to detect and calculate, and it is difficult to guarantee accurate values.

Furthermore, the model of Patent Document 2 also specifies that the absorption source of CO2 is a natural coral reef, a bivalve, a breeding ground where seaweeds are easy to breed, or a mangrove breeding ground. It is obvious that the carbon dioxide emission right calculated by the computer is vague and unreliable because it is obvious that it depends on the breeding place, the kind of absorbed individuals, natural conditions, equipment, etc.
Therefore, the present invention aims at the creation and trading of CO2 emission rights for brown algae, red algae, green algae, especially cultured kelp, which can be artificially controlled and established as a plan, and the trade thereof, using this species cultured seaweed as a raw material. The objective is to provide new and useful business models for a wide range of industrial products, production technologies, production facilities, and so on.

      In order to improve the difficulty of certification of the seaweed CO2 emission rights, the present invention can be produced systematically, various measurements of individuals are easy, and growth is fast, and it contains many useful components for human beings. Utilizing cultured kelp with high carbon monoxide absorption capacity, it is a means to reduce the emission of global warming gas, which is urgently needed, and at the same time useful and versatile cultured kelp and its direct indirect As mentioned above, the issue is the provision of a business model of a static product.

      In order to solve this problem, the present invention first constructs a kelp farming facility of a predetermined scale that facilitates planned production and easy physical and chemical measurement of the product on the coast, inner bay, or offshore. According to the aquaculture technology, the kombu strain is inoculated into the cultivation line of the aquaculture facility and cultivated in the sea for 4 to 6 months. Scrutinized together, entered and stored on a specific computer, grasped the production status while comparing with the database records of aquaculture technology entered in advance, and finally calculated the CO2 absorption fixed amount, public The first feature is that after receiving a third-party certification, the contract is sold as an option contract with an environmentally hazardous company or country through the communication line of the Global Warming Gas Emission Exchange.

Furthermore, the second characteristic of this cultured kelp business model is the fermentative production business of methane gas for fossil fuel substitution by fermented bacteria of low quality harvested kelp and waste kombu.
This gas is also a global warming gas defined by the Kyoto Protocol, so the reduction of carbon monoxide as well as the carbon monoxide is guaranteed, and the seaweed with enormous production capacity, It is relatively easy to produce microorganisms, and it is hoped for future use in the production of biomethanol as a clean biofuel to replace limited fossil fuels.

      On the other hand, in this business model, a part of the CO2 and CH3 emission rights gained in this way is accumulated at a certain rate, and it is given to the buyer of cultured kelp. The third feature is to refund the rebate money at a specified rate and use it as incentive funds to revitalize the industry.

    Furthermore, from the cultivated kelp material, processing and sales business of (1) food, (2) industrial products, (3) beauty, esthetic products, (4) agriculture, forestry and fishery products, etc. is created, and these Along with the business, the fourth characteristic is to create a business for providing and providing aquaculture technology and aquaculture facilities, as well as a seaweed product manufacturing technology.

Various records of the cultured kelp business model created in this way are CO2
Stored and stored in the same or separate computer, including aquaculture kelp use and processing business other than emissions credit business and fermented methane production business, and depending on the case, it may be necessary by registering the customer's password and PIN The fifth feature is that it is configured to be accessed and searched via a communication line, and sold after option contract.

.

    According to the business configuration as described above, the first effect of the present invention is that seaweed that grows for several meters in only 4-6 months, particularly forcing cultured kelp, is selected as a target individual of this business. This is because the seed-cultured kelp is easy to produce in large quantities, and the kelp strains on the underwater training line creation line are counted in advance, so the production amount can be calculated easily and accurately. The calculation of emission credits is also highly profitable and has benefits, and its components are rich in various proteins, minerals, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc. that are extremely important for living organisms. In addition, a wide variety of production and sales businesses can be created, and each business has a useful and unique effect.

That is, first of all, in the business for utilization of cultured kelp (U) in FIG. 1, the marine resources having the role as a spawning ground for the cultured kelp that grows under the aquaculture facility and the nursery for the juvenile fish, and the role as a food for seafood. Increased effect [indirect business effect] (1) and emission credit gain from direct CO2 absorption [direct business effect] (2), and further water purification by oxygen released by carbon assimilation in the sea Effects [indirect business effects] (3) and so on.
As a result, the catch increases, helps to prevent global warming, cleans the environment in the sea, has a great effect on the sanitation, recreation and tourism of the sea, greatly helps to improve and revitalize the local economy. There is no mistake.

What is even more noteworthy is that it can participate in global warming gas emissions trading in accordance with the “Kyoto Mechanism” and create economic benefits.
This benefit is the effect obtained by the planned production of seaweed, especially cultured kelp, which has an absorption amount 4-5 times the CO2 absorption fixation of forests, especially tropical rainforests. Despite the fact that Longhurst's analysis was published in 1995, it is also a profit that is inconsistent with the “Kyoto Protocol”, which is considered to be unfit as a CO2 absorption source.
However, the problem of this maladjustment is the highly accurate observations derived from ocean clofill measurements by color sensors onboard satellites, so ocean and marine plant sinks are also considered as forest sinks. There is a strong argument that it should be reviewed as soon as possible.
For this reason, the present invention was proposed as an ISO 14064 compliant system for aquaculture kelp business, assuming the case of the above-mentioned ocean CO2 absorption source, and the above effect was also discussed based on this assumption. Is.

      On the other hand, the profits obtained from such CO2 emissions trading are accumulated at a certain rate and rebated to the kelp buyer according to the purchase amount in the cultured kelp trading market. It is expected to lead to further development and expansion of the aquaculture kelp industry because it is considered to serve as a priming water for further business activation and expansion.

On the other hand, in the processing business of kombu, the following fields: food business in which cultured kelp itself is directly used as food or processed foods; alginic acid, medicine, beauty and health products, esthetic products, supplement products, and methane Industrial products business for production of alternative energy such as ethyl alcohol; and business for agriculture, forestry and fisheries for organic fertilizer and feed production: Many products that are extremely effective in each field can be classified. There is a profit that can be produced and distributed.
As described above, in alternative energy production such as methane and ethyl alcohol, it is possible to create profits that can take effect of the “Kyoto mechanism” of global warming gas emission rights.

      Furthermore, aquaculture kelp business is a labor that engages in all of these businesses, as derived from the third incidental business, ie, kelp farming technology, kelp farming facility and its provision business, seaweed product manufacturing technology provision business, etc. Employment of the farmers; construction of their residences, daily necessities sales offices, commuting systems, etc .; tours of farms, derivation of tourism business, etc. Induced immeasurable economic ripple effects, etc. It is also expected to have an extremely strong stimulating effect.

FIG. 1 shows a system diagram of the cultured kelp business model of the present invention.
In the implementation of this broad business model, first, the cultivation of kombu, which is the raw material, is cultivated smoothly and in a planned and measured manner, and whether or not a facility suitable for that region can be selected. However, currently, the kelp farming facilities include coastal aquaculture facilities constructed in Rias coastal areas such as Sanriku and Mie Prefectures; open inner bays such as Mutsu Bay and Seto Inland Sea; In addition, there are ups and downs offshore aquaculture facilities that can withstand typhoons and storms, and aquaculture technology has been developed that can use water depths up to 60m and offshore stocks up to 8000m.
However, this technology is being further improved, and it is assumed that kelp farming will be possible in the entire sea area where economic benefits are gained regardless of the depth and offshore distance. The effects on reduction are speculated to be immeasurable.
However, the best mode of the present invention will be described below with reference to the record of the large-scale farming kelp offshore in Sabara-cho, Hokkaido shown in FIG. It should be understood that seaweeds are not necessarily limited to kelp, and similar seaweeds such as brown algae, red algae, and green algae are also used.

The large kelp farming facility (1) shown in FIG. 2 has a trunk rope (2) length of 1200 m offshore Sabara-cho, Hokkaido, and is composed of 23 lines. 000 inner bay type facilities, the kelp wet yield by this facility is usually estimated at 4,224 tons.
Furthermore, in the industry, this wet weight of 4,224 tons corresponds to a dry weight of 845 (1/5), and the carbon fixation amount is further calculated to be one half of 422 tons. .
Therefore, if the quality of the product obtained by aquaculture at this facility is 1,000 yen / kg, the quality of kelp is 1,000,000 yen / ton x 4,224 = 4,224 million yen. The profit from the CO2 emission right is calculated as 5,000 yen / ton x 422 = 21.11 million yen, and the selling price obtained in the primary production is calculated as 4,226 million 110,000 yen. (However, the calculation of the CO2 fixation amount follows the simple measurement method of carbon fixation amount by Professor Kazuya Taniguchi Tohoku University, Visiting Professor Sakai Ichiro Kagoshima University, etc.)
It should be noted that the records of various species obtained at this facility, especially the harvested kelp wet weight, are actually measured by the producers and are therefore estimated to be quantitatively accurate and reliable. Incorporated as a computer database.

FIG. 4 shows a basic view of a kelp aquaculture facility comprising a float (3), a sash (7), a regulation rope (6), a trunk rope (2), a root tail rope (4) and an anchor (5).
The business model of the present invention will be described below with reference to this figure. In other words, the kelp seeds that have been properly cultivated with kelp spores are attached to the trunk rope (3) together with the IC tab (Tb) for satellite observation, and the cultured materials are placed in an appropriate sea area, that is, an inner bay. After being constructed and cultured for an appropriate period, it is thinned out at an appropriate interval and grown as shown in FIGS.

The kombu (8) cultivated in this way has the number of IC tabs (Tb) attached to the kombu seeds (not shown) during the life of the computer (C) via the artificial satellite (S). Count management, extract the situation while constantly comparing with database records, improve the aquaculture procedure, control its growth, and finally perform 3D sensing in the presence of a third party to be described later To ensure the accuracy, transparency and reliability of the yield at the time of harvest. With this as a collateral, we will make an optional contract with a global warming load type company through the CO2 Emission Trading Center (9) It sells after authentication, and the sales amount is configured to be received through an electronic bank or a commercial bank.
Furthermore, since the global warming load type CO2 emission excess excess company (E) is reserved in advance in the emission credit trading center (9), either a contract is made with this reservation person or the trading center (9 ), It is possible to find a new purchaser and sell it according to the information transmitted from (1).
Of course, such cultured kelp itself or CO2 emission rights can be sold under the specified certification in the normal distribution market, but it is convenient to sell the Internet from the trading center using a communication circuit, The contracted emission credits are advantageously arranged to be paid to the producer with electronic money.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a scrutiny calculation model for the production amount of cultured kelp as an ISO 14064 compatible system for selling CO2 emission rights.
In the model of this aspect, in order to ensure the reliability, accuracy, and transparency of the calculated number, three-dimensional measurement, that is, satellite remote sensing by satellite, underwater measurement equipment using underwater measurement equipment. Various data obtained by combination measurement of remote sensing and direct measurement of artificial measurement are input to a computer, and compared with the database value entered in advance, the exact kelp weight is calculated. Thereafter, the CO2 emission right is calculated based on this weight.

In this model, first, in a specific sea area, a plurality of (A), (B),... Of a specific kelp aquaculture facility, for example, the sandbar type large mooring facility (trunk 1200 m, 22 lines) is shown in FIG. It is constructed in this way, and records of various aquaculture conditions, natural conditions, etc. in this sea area are stored and accumulated in the database part of computer (C), while the number of growing kelp strains, sea water temperature, temperature, atmospheric pressure A record of natural conditions such as rainfall, tidal current, etc., is remotely sensed by artificial satellite (S) and input to the computer daily, and underwater remote sensing and direct sensing are used in combination, if necessary. After scrutinizing the data, it is input and stored in the computer reception department, and in the presence of a third party in comparison with the records in the database, the global warming gas emission right joint purchase mechanism finally It calculates the weight as well as carbon sequestration, determined.
Next, in order to ensure the transparency, reliability, and accuracy of this decision value, a public third party verification is performed.

      The CO2 emission credits obtained through such scrutiny and verification are sold as optional contracts via the communication line from the emission trading center (9) connected to the producer computer (C). Part of the CO2 emission sales profits obtained as a result is accumulated by the producer (M) as shown in FIG. 7-A, and the cultured kelp buyer is in accordance with the purchase amount. It will be refunded as a rebate that encourages repurchase, and will be used as incentive funds for revitalizing the aquaculture kelp industry, increasing global warming gas reductions, and improving its technology, as shown in Figure 7-B. Contributed to the United Nations (UN) as environmental funds from each country, and is structured to be used as a global environmental cleanup and global warming prevention fund

Furthermore, as a part of the business shown in FIG. 7-A, the kelp producer or the processor of the kelp produces methane by fermenting the low-grade products or waste of the cultured kelp produced to produce fossil fuel. It can be sold as alternative household or industrial fuel, and at the same time, it leads to reduction in the generation of methane gas as a global warming gas, resulting in an emission reduction right equivalent to CO2 gas emission reduction. Can be sold from the Global Warming Gas Emissions Exchange, and the profits can be saved in the same way and used for the same purpose.
Furthermore, since the production method of ethyl alcohol using cultured kelp as a bioreactor has reached the practical range, it will greatly contribute to the future use of cultured kelp and the reduction of global warming gas, together with the above methane fermentation technology. Is expected to contribute.

      The above-mentioned cultured kelp business model is simply sales of cultured primary kelp in the primary culture, CO2 emission sales business based on the carbon fixation action of the cultured kelp production process, and methane from biomass (kombu) belonging to the secondary industry. The fermentation business is only described, and the enormous business such as the kelp processing business and the aquaculture technology associated with kelp aquaculture shown in Fig. Since it is included in the scope of the business model of the invention, this will be explained in order below.

In the kelp business (KB) shown in FIG. 1, the use business model (U) of the kelp is based on the sales business of the primary product kelp itself and the CO2 fixation created during the cultivation as described above. This includes the sales business of squeeze emissions credits and indirect business with no marketability such as environmental purification and nurturing of juvenile fish.
In other words, aquaculture kelp underwater forms a spawning ground for migratory fish, and also forms a nursery and production fishing ground for juvenile fish, purifies water quality and prevents damage such as red tide, and catches fish near the farm. At the same time, it also serves as a seafood feed ground, helping its growth and generating indirect important and huge economic benefits that give immeasurable benefits such as increased production of seafood and purification of the aquatic environment.

Next, in the processing business of kelp (M), the processed products are extremely diverse, so it is classified into food (a), industrial supplies (b), agriculture, forestry and fisheries supplies (c) below. explain.
Kelp food (a):
First, as is well known, raw materials of kelp are not shipped raw except for beach processing, and most of them are shipped for food as dried kelp and boiled kelp.
Particularly recently, the rhizome part of the former has been on the market as “health kelp” as an expensive health food. In addition, the latter boiled kelp is made to reveal the hidden green color with boiled water, and is sold at a high price in the health food market, also known as “marine salad”. It is distributed.

      Such raw materials have long been nutritious and delicious, so they are processed as foods and used as 58 kinds of soup foods. On the other hand, they are delicious seasonings for soup stocks, broths, and water. It is used as (a-1), and is further processed into a boiled or salted kelp. It is well known that the use as a food like this is a seafood product that is easily accessible from pharmaceutical sources that contain many useful ingredients for the human body, such as protein, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids, etc. It is as follows.

      In addition, this edible kelp has been processed according to the purpose of use since ancient times, and various products (a-2), namely, [shaved kelp, rags kelp, chopped kelp, seasoned kelp, kelp rolls, boiled simmered, vinegar kelp, salt kelp , Seasoning kelp, powdered kelp, kelp tea, kelp confectionery, kelp vinegar, kelp lees, etc.

Kelp Industrial Supplies (b):
Conventionally, kelp has only been used as a food product because its production area is cold and its production volume is limited and its price is expensive.
However, recently, aquaculture and breeding techniques have been developed, which enables aquaculture in subtropical warm waters and facilitates planned production, as well as the growth potential of kelp itself, its components, and the diet of seafood. As a result of various effects such as breeding action, environmental purification action, etc., much attention has been paid, and as the recent issue of global warming gas emission rights has been highlighted, it has come to the spotlight. ing.
Therefore, in the near future, in addition to the food problems of human beings, animals and organisms on the earth, it is necessary to increase production systematically as a source of energy to replace fossil fuels and as a source of greenhouse gas reduction. There is no doubt that the production of industrial products is also excessive.
Therefore, the mode of the best business model of kelp industrial supplies is illustrated below.

Alginic acid industry (b-1)
Originally alginic acid is a natural organic polyelectrolyte substance, which is also known as kelp acid, which is a component unique to brown algae such as kelp, and because it has strong scientific activity and hydrophilicity, it has thickening, shape retention, and protective colloid properties, It has strong properties such as emulsification stability and foam stability, and is therefore widely used in food industry, cosmetic industry, medicine, agricultural agent, bioreactor fixing agent and the like.
Because of these properties, alginic acid is first widely used as a food additive in foods such as bread, ramen, beer, sake, jam, ketchup, seasoning, dairy products, jelly agar and the like.

      On the other hand, alginic acid is used as a functional food for diet foods such as obesity prevention, and for its fiber and intestinal properties, for defecation, intestinal preparation, and for metal ion adsorption and excretion, It is also used as a bioaccumulation inhibitor of radioactive substances (cadmium and strontium), and further used as a virus preventive agent for virus suppression effect.

      In addition, alginic acid is used for cosmetics such as creams, lotions, shampoos, etc. due to its highly viscous and non-sticky properties, while waterproofing glue, hard water softener, cement, mortar admixture, papermaking glue, soap, kneading It has been widely used as a supplement for toothpastes. Furthermore, the creation of mass-produced key industries such as paper and fiber is expected in the future, as well as land fibers, using the fiber properties of alginic acid.

Especially in the 21st century, mass production of planned aquaculture kelp is predicted to reduce global warming gas. Therefore, in order to digest the production volume, along with the production of fossil fuel alternative fuels, Utilization business is expected to occur, and from the possibility of spinning sodium alginate, this is spun to produce continuous yarn, and this is cut to produce rayon-stable fiber. It is speculated that a large business will be created for use in the manufacture of flexible fabrics and fibers.
It can also be used as a newspaper with the strength of a newspaper, and in combination with other fibers, a waterproof and water-permeable cloth, an acoustic diaphragm, etc. are produced. It has been distributed and is already used as an anti-dyeing agent in the textile industry.

Pharmaceutical industry (b-2)
Kombu has a long history as a traditional Chinese medicine for longevity and longevity in China. Especially in the outskirts of the continent, there are many endemic diseases due to iodine deficiency, goiter (Basedow's disease). It was used as a chemical.
In addition, due to the seasoning of glutamic acid contained, it is frequently used in Chinese cuisine, and together, it has grown into a kelp power country with a current annual production of 500,000 to 700,000 tons (dry weight).
In Japan, it has been used as a roundworm repellent for seaweeds such as kelp, root kelp and sea forest grass, and as a blood aging inhibitor.
Furthermore, in Chinese medicine, it is used as a cancer treatment drug. In dentistry, it is used as an alginate printing agent. It is widely used and the business effect in this field is relatively large.
Furthermore, alginic acid as an agrochemical is also used as a chemical for preventing infection with tobacco viruses.

Biomass fuel fermentation industry (b-3)
The business model of seaweed fermentation such as methane gas related to this subject has already been described in the section of CO2 absorption fixation using kombu, so it is omitted. ,
The production of ethyl alcohol by an alginic acid bioreactor is about to be used as a future automobile fuel additive.

Agriculture, forestry and fishery products: (c)
Kelp fertilizer (c-1)
Seaweeds such as kelp originally contain a lot of minerals (minerals), carbohydrates, proteins, etc., and they are not affected by chemical damage such as chemical fertilizers, parasites such as manure and human dung, and bacteria. It has been used more than ever since.
This fertilizer is used separately as a soil fertilizer and a foliar spray. The former is a fertilizer equivalent to manure that does not cause continuous cropping damage when powdered, and the latter is a safe insecticide without chemical phytotoxicity. In addition, since it contains components that insects dislike, such as sulfur and sodium, it is effectively used as an insect repellent that suppresses the occurrence of pests.
It is particularly effective for disinfecting citrus fruits, and is widely used for the early shipment of soft vegetables such as lettuce and spinach, the increase in sugar content of tomatoes and rice straw, and the prevention of withering of harvested vegetables.

Kelp feed (C-2)
In Japan, seaweed, especially kelp, has not been used as livestock feed since ancient times, but it has been used as feed in Europe and America for a long time.
In particular, kelp meal (powder) is recommended to be used to improve the appetite of animals, improve milk production and meat quality, etc. by adding about 2% as a mixed feed, and will be used in this field in the future. The amount is expected to increase considerably.

Seafood cultured feed (c-3)
In recent years, abalone, sea urchin, scallops, etc. that eat seaweed have been actively cultivated, and kelp has been specially cultivated as feed.
Particularly in abalone farming, abalone farms are suspended from some kelp farming facilities and are actively used as complex farming facilities.
In aquaculture, etc., it is given as a mixed feed and used to prevent kidney disease in young fish.
In particular, the coastal and offshore aquaculture of seafood is expected to increase in the future due to the establishment of the 200 nautical miles economic zone, the reduction of global fishery resources due to overfishing of fish and marine pollution, etc. Considering consumption, the aquaculture business such as kelp is expected to expand further.

Kelp farming business: ((KD)
Therefore, in order to achieve the aquaculture kelp business as described above, its aquaculture technology, aquaculture facilities, etc. are required, and at the same time, the processing technology of the cultivated materials, the manufacturing technology of the processing equipment, etc. will develop. As such, ancillary businesses that provide them will also be created, as well as businesses such as management, maintenance, repair of these facilities, equipment, and transportation and storage of aquaculture material products. Conceivable.

      On the other hand, the use of cultured kelp and the management of various products produced and distributed in the processing business are also collectively managed by the producer computer (C) used in the CO2 emission trading, Computers are managed by processors, users, or distributors, and if necessary, make these companies members, and register their passwords and passwords as a registration system. It is advantageous to configure so that the settlement of accounts is settled with electronic money.

As described above, the best mode for carrying out the present invention has been described, but the rough prediction of economic effect when producing 5 million tons of wet kelp by the kelp farming facility (Sunahara large-scale mooring facility) in this mode is referred to below. Describe as a document.
Economic effect prediction of forcing cultured kelp 5 million tons Business 1 set of large mooring facilities for sand field type Estimated facility costs (but as pilot facilities) ... 300 million yen cultured kelp production per set [wet weight] 4225 tons = 0.4225 million tons 5 million tons [wet weight] Number of facilities required to produce kelp ... 500 / 0.4225 = 1,131 sets Total set facility costs ... 300 million yen x 1131 = 339.3 billion yen Shipping amount of kelp 5 million tons 2000-3000 yen / kg = 5-15 trillion yen Wet weight 5 million tons CO2 emission reduction ... 2000 yen x 500,000 = 1 billion yen (however, kelp dry weight = (5 million tons x 1/5 = 1 million tons)
(CO2 fixed amount = 1 million tons x 1/2 = 500,000 tons)
Market price of processed product of 5 million tons of cultured kelp = 5-15 trillion yen x 3-5 = 15-75 trillion yen
Processed product market price 15-75 trillion yen + CO2 emission sales price 1 billion yen (however, the enclosed product market price is estimated as 3-5 times the wet kelp shipping price)
In addition to the direct economic effects described above, indirect economic effects that cannot be predicted, such as the purification of the marine environment, increased production of seafood, and prevention of global warming, are provided.
Therefore, the implementation of the forced aquaculture kelp business model of the present invention is not only a supplement to the earth's food shortage, but also the only means left in the future that can prevent global warming, while at the same time further activating the land economy. It is also an effective means to make it happen, so its implementation is convinced that it is an indispensable last resort to save the earth.
