  • Patent number: 11954695
    Abstract: A farmed fish tracking and verification system involves introducing biomarkers into a batch of farmed fish, and storing biomarker information in a database. Other information is also stored in the database, such as production information and funding information. Funding information can include information regarding funders who have contributed funds for the production of the fish. The funding information can also include payment instructions for the funders. Once the fish is processed, and a fish product is delivered to a customer, the fish product can be scanned to detect the biomarker information for approval. The database can then be queried using the biomarker information to track and verify information about the fish. Once the fish product is approved and sold to a customer, a portion of the proceeds can be transferred directly to one or more funders accounts based on the payment instructions.

  • Publication number: 20230270082
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and processes for recycling biogenic CO2. A system includes an aquacultural reservoir (102) configured to contain water (108) and aquatic animals (110) that live therein; a separation stage (104) in fluid communication with the aquacultural reservoir, wherein the separation stage is configured to receive water from the aquacultural reservoir and separate biogenic CO2 gas (114) from the water; and a fermentation tank (106) in gas communication with the separation stage, wherein the fermentation tank is configured to receive and convert the biogenic CO2 into biomass (126) by fermentation. The produced biomass can be used to cultivate the aquatic animals in the aquacultural reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20230159874
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for recycling gas in a reactor. An example of gas-recycling system comprises: a housing, a gas conduit, and a powered propeller. The housing encloses a gas space and a liquid space, wherein the gas space is configured to collect gas within a reactor. The powered propeller comprises a shaft having an upper end and a lower end; and a plurality of radial blades connected to the lower end of the shaft. Upon rotation of the powered propeller, the powered propeller is configured to: generate a suction to cause the collected gas to flow from the gas space to the liquid space through the conduit; cause fluid of the reactor to flow in a direction from the upper end of the shaft to the lower end of the shaft; and mix the liquid and the collected gas proximate the powered propeller.

  • Patent number: 10793487
    Abstract: It is disclosed a system for producing methanol/methane, said system comprising an electrolysis section (1) producing hydrogen and oxygen from the cleaving of water molecules, and said system further comprising a closed cultivation/breeding container/pond (5) for aquatic organisms creating CO2 through their metabolism to be liberated into the water surrounding said organisms forming CO2-rich water, said CO2-rich water being transported to a CO2-liberating section forming gaseous CO2 and CO2-poor water, said liberated gaseous CO2 being transported to a reactor (6,6?) and being combined with said hydrogen from said electrolysis plant (1) for creating methanol and/or methane as an end product, said methanol/methane being isolated and exited from said system.
