Carbon, trees and seaweed - Finn Ross, CarbonZ

This Climate Business - A podcast by Podcasts NZ / Vincent Heeringa

Categories:

Finn Ross is a young guy on a mission. He’s completing a PhD on seaweed carbon sequestration, he’s also co-founder of CarbonZ, a company offering voluntary carbon credits based on the restoration and planting of native trees on New Zealand farmland. He’s the son of entrepreneurs Geoff and Justine Ross, owners of Lake Hawea Station, New Zealand’s first carbon positive farm. As a worker on the farm Finn has seen first-hand how Kiwi landowners must foot the bill for native afforestation – a problem he’d like to overcome.
