Patent number: 11980172Abstract: Systems and methods for cultivating or accumulating climate-focused marine target products are described herein. The target product may be microalgae, macroalgae, plankton, marine bacteria or archaea, filter feeders (such as oysters or clams), or crustaceans either for the purpose of bioremediation, eventual cultivation or for sequestering carbon dioxide; or the target product may be direct chemical or biological accumulation of carbon or carbon containing organisms. The system is primarily a floating apparatus designed to hold the target product in a region of the water column and in a spatial region of the water where it will best accumulate target product mass. In some embodiments the system is designed to achieve eventual passive sinking (transformation from a floating to sinking apparatus) into the deep ocean. In some embodiments, the system is equipped with purpose-chosen sensors to instrument and quantify the various biological and mechanical processes occurring onboard.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Running Tide Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel Merrill, Max Chalfin, Andrew Clyde Thompson, Margaux Martin-Filippi, Finnian Cradock Donovan, Matthew Jordan Odlin

Patent number: 11938446Abstract: A method for calculating carbon credits includes obtaining sensor data associated with at least a portion of a deployment for cultivating a target product in a body of water, executing at least one model based at least in part on the sensor data to generate an output predicting at least one characteristic associated with the target product, the deployment, or a portion of the body of water, and inputting the output into a quantification model. The quantification model is executed to generate an output associated with a predicted capacity of the target product to sequester carbon dioxide. An accuracy of the predicted capacity resulting from the output of the quantification model is greater than an accuracy of a predicted or inferred capacity resulting from the output of each model individually. Carbon dioxide offset credits are determined based on the predicted capacity resulting from the output of the quantification model.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Running Tide Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Max Chalfin, Margaux Martin-Filippi, Andrew Thompson, Justin Baker Ries
