Our Stories

Research at Kelpinor thrives on failures and discoveries. Despite setbacks like algae invasions and equipment breakdowns, we found promising results—our biostimulants enhanced plant growth under stress. From innovative drought experiments to machine-learning-driven insights, we’re proving the efficacy of our solutions. Challenges remain, but so does our resolve to push boundaries and achieve breakthroughs.

Our second production line is now operational, doubling capacity to 2000 liters per batch. It improves efficiency, reliability, and quality, ensuring we meet demand for the 2024 season. Preparations are underway for a strong start at IPM Essen this January.

After a week full of achievements, we’re thrilled to announce our first research project in collaboration with SINTEF Nord, where we are taking the lead under the project Physis. This initiative allows us to focus more on cultivated seaweed species for agricultural applications. To top it off, we also had a visit from one of our board members.

Hi, my name is Sara, and I am currently working as an intern at Kelpinor while writing my master’s thesis in collaboration with the company. The journey at Kelpinor has been quite a unique experience so I thought I would share it with you. My internship started in August and was supposed to end November 1st, but as of now, I am still here and will be for another few weeks. Hopefully, while reading this post, you might understand why.

As the importance of sustainability and ecological food production increases, the appeal of seaweed-based biostimulants is on the rise. These natural ocean-derived products present a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional oil-based biostimulants.

What is the potential for kelp farming in Norway?

Jakten på nye naturressurser, strengere krav til klimautslipp og omstilling til sirkulær bioøkonomi, baner vei for det som skal bli en global giga-næring i følge EU, nemlig taredyrking.

Kelp kan be used for many applications - read more about them.

The search for new natural resources, stricter requirements for climate emissions, and transformation to a circular bioeconomy are paving the way for what the EU says will become a global giga-industry, namely kelp farming.
