Barbados seeks to be fossil-fuel-free by 2030, facing economic challenges due to the cost of electric cars. There is potential in using sargassum seaweed for biofuel.
Brittney McKenzie's groundbreaking research using sargassum and rum waste to produce methane biofuel could significantly reduce carbon emissions and fuel costs in Barbados.
The estimate suggests converting 100,000 cars to this biofuel could eliminate 17 million tonnes of emissions over 14 years, making it a win-win solution.
The venture, Rum & Sargassum, aims to scale production to serve 2,000 customers and attract investors for a renewable energy solution leveraging Caribbean resources.
