The Climate Foundation , the Seattle-based company behind the project, has found that this deep cycling makes kelp grow three times as fast as it can when kept in shallow waters, as seaweed farmers do now. It’s our hope in 2024 to validate our model and then, as [they] say in Silicon Valley, design it once and build it a million times.”

In the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), start-stop systems reduce fuel consumption, and thus CO 2 emissions, by up to 5%. In the NEDC urban cycle, the saving is as much as 8%. The system is rounded off by a crankshaft sensor, sensors on the pedals, and a deep-cycle resistant battery. Earlier post.)
