World Climate Day! Fermentation and biotechnologies play an innovative role in advancing the shift toward a more sustainable development. Recognizing their integration and application into a delicate ecosystem, our production and R&D efforts aim to minimize our #ecological footprint throughout our entire value chain. Through our actions, it is our duty to protect our planet. We address #environmental concerns, encompassing sustainable agriculture and biodiversity, climate change, water and marine resources, pollution, and waste management, in an interconnected and comprehensive manner due to their interdependence. We are dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 by leveraging innovating technologies and harnessing the support of feedstock and energy producers, all working towards the same goal. Discover all our actions and #commitments for our planet in our last EFPR: https://lnkd.in/d7AhFZ9 #LesaffreCares #CSR #WorkingAtLesaffre #WorldClimateDay

Human activities have thrown the earth’s carbon cycle out of balance. 🌱 Our planet naturally absorbs and emits approximately 100 billion tons of carbon dioxide through this natural cycle every year. This total dwarfs humanity’s contribution, amounting to ten times as much CO2 as produced through human activities. 🌏 So, what’s the problem? The problem is that humanity's extra chunk of carbon emissions has tipped out of equilibrium in what was once a balanced cycle. We are adding carbon to the air faster than the planet’s sinks can absorb it.

Microalgae: Nature's Tiny Giants in the Fight Against Climate Change and for Water Purity🌱🌏💧 As we grapple with the challenges of climate change and water sustainability, one tiny organism offers a big solution: microalgae. 👉Microalgae, the microscopic, photosynthetic organisms, are nature's unsung heroes. They absorb CO2, a major greenhouse gas, and produce oxygen, contributing significantly to the global carbon cycle. By harnessing this natural process, we can mitigate the impacts of climate change. 📍Moreover, microalgae can thrive in wastewater, making them a sustainable solution for water treatment. They remove harmful pollutants and nutrients, improving water quality and reducing the burden on conventional treatment systems. Investing in microalgae research and technology is not just an investment in a sustainable future, but a commitment to a healthier planet. Let's embrace the power of these tiny organisms and make a big difference. 🌍💚 #Microalgae #ClimateChange #WaterSustainability #RenewableEnergy #greentech #algae #sustainable #globalalgae #climatechange #co2 #circulareconomy #biodegradable #economy #ecosystem #carboncapture #eu4health #eucommission

Why make payments to restoring blue carbon ecosystems? One of the leading drivers of climate change is the increasing concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere as a result of human activity. There is a role for removing carbon from the atmosphere, to complement significant global emissions reductions. We therefore can reduce the rate at which the atmospheric CO2 concentration is increasing by reducing emissions and by directly removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Through our preferred supplier, Ecologi, they select carbon removal projects which have the best chance of permanent carbon removal and storage, and are accredited to leading standards. We, through Ecologi, support carbon removal through select methodologies administered by the Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard, and Puro Standard. Their team works hard to select projects which also have additional co-benefits, like benefits to local communities and to biodiversity. To offset part (10%) of our emissions last year, we have funded removing 6 tCO2e via the Blue Carbon ecosystem via Ecologi

In our current climate crisis, the #bioeconomy emerges as a beacon of hope, offering multifaceted solutions to #mitigate the severe effects of climate change. From innovative #carbon_sequestration techniques to the production of sustainable #biomaterials among others, the bioeconomy presents a diverse array of strategies to combat environmental degradation.

Carbon capture from the ATMOSPHERE (DAC) (not from the smokestacks of factories) and fossilizing it in the rocks or wherever - this is one of the most unwise and wasteful use of technology and resources. #climatechangeawareness #overkill #paranoia #climateparanoia Nature did this with microorganisms and plantlife and it is a sustainable, self generating, self replicating and self repairing mechanism. Dont see where this tech and climate change paranoia is going!

Biofouling starts the moment a ship's hull touches water... At first, tiny microorganisms settle on the hull, forming an invisible biofilm... This film then acts as a base for more complex marine life like algae and small invertebrates... As time goes on, larger organisms such as barnacles and seaweeds attach themselves, dramatically increasing drag and fuel consumption. This chain reaction doesn't just hurt the vessel's performance—𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿.

🌱 Embracing Nature: Partnering with Technology for a Sustainable Future 🌍 What if, instead of replacing nature with technology, we made technology a tool to enhance nature's resilience? Nature has a holistic approach to problem-solving, and it's time we recognize its incredible potential. Let's take a closer look at two approaches to combat climate change: Tree planting and Direct Air Capture (DAC). 🌳🌳 Tree Planting Benefits: 🌳🌳 ✅ Carbon Capture ✅ Animal Feed Production ✅ Soil Erosion Reduction, Combating Desertification ✅ Enhanced Soil Fertility ✅ Biodiversity Sanctuaries ✅ Economic Gains through Carbon Credits, Timber, Fruits, Nuts, and More ✅ Sustainable Food and Medicine Sources ✅ Local Job Creation ✅ Shade and Cooling for Plants, Livestock, and People 🌬️🌬️ Direct Air Capture (DAC) Benefits: 🌬️ 🌬️ ✅ Carbon Capture (Critical for Climate Mitigation) ✅ Technological Breakthrough Acknowledged by IPCC DAC undoubtedly holds promise as a crucial technology in the fight against climate change, as recognized by the IPCC. However, it's vital to remember that nature offers a multitude of benefits beyond mere carbon absorption. To win the battle against climate change, we must join forces with nature, harnessing its inherent resilience and power. 🌍 Let's make technology an ally in our mission to protect and nurture our planet! 🌍 #ClimateActionNow #SustainableFuture #NatureAndTechnology #ClimateResilience #PartnershipWithNature
