Abstract

This study explores the potential of utilizing residual carrageenan extracted from Eucheuma cottonii seaweed biomass for the production of sustainable energy. Carrageenan, a polysaccharide widely used in various industries, can be extracted from seaweed during processing for other applications. However, the residual biomass left after carrageenan extraction often poses environmental challenges. By repurposing this biomass for energy production, we aim to contribute to both environmental sustainability and renewable energy initiatives. Through a combination of experimental analysis and theoretical modeling, we evaluate the energy content and conversion efficiency of carrageenan residue, considering various processing methods and technological advancements. Our findings highlight the feasibility and potential benefits of harnessing residual carrageenan as a renewable energy source, paving the way for green innovation in the seaweed industry.
