Ocean Carbon Capture: How Kelp Forests Save The Planet | Season 11 Episode 5 | Ocean Quest - Juergen Roider

It’s incredible to see a serial entrepreneur like Juergen Roider pivot from the world of IT to become a reborn champion for the oceans. His bold vision, building a massive kelp belt to capture carbon and restore marine ecosystems feels like science fiction turned reality, and it’s exactly the kind of innovation our planet needs right now.

Did you know kelp absorbs carbon 20 times more efficiently than rainforests? And with robots and AI handling the dangerous underwater work 24/7, this is a game-changer for scalability and global climate action.

In this inspiring episode of Swiss Impact, Juergen shares his journey from witnessing the apocalyptic reality of ocean pollution to founding Ocean Quest International, a global initiative using climate robotics, ocean farming, and kelp reforestation to heal the seas.

His message is both urgent and deeply human:

“Before we go to Mars, we must save our own home.”

This is high-impact stewardship at its best - science, technology, and purpose united for the planet.

What if the solution to the world’s most pressing problems—food scarcity, mass migration, and desertification—was hiding in plain sight?

In this episode of Swiss Impact, we sit down with Karl Albrecht Waldstein, the inventor of Desert Greener and managing director of Seawater GmbH. Karl’s journey began 17 years ago in Spain, witnessing the devastating effects of desertification while standing next to an "endless abundance" of seawater. Since then, he has developed a revolutionary technology that mimics the natural water cycle to turn salt water into "blank sheet" distilled water using nothing but the power of the sun.

Unlike traditional reverse osmosis, which is energy-intensive and produces harmful waste, Desert Greener is a zero-emission process. It doesn’t just provide water; it creates a path for Green Hydrogen and Ammonia production, potentially replacing fossil fuels for a carbon-neutral future.

Join us for a profound conversation that bridges cutting-edge physics with spiritual wisdom. As Karl puts it: "We have to find a way that the seawater solves the problem, but it must be cheap or almost for free."
