    It seems like a good idea. As far as I know, seaweed is also a good fertiliser, so it's a good idea as long as it doesn't divert seaweed from that use. Perhaps the ash can be used as a fertiliser?

    and a first rate, under-utilised food. It ought to be (but isn't so far) another case of bio fuels stealing food from the world supply.

    Not just Welsh or Japanese - here in NI dulse is sold in most of our seaside towns. Had some only 3 weeks ago, my aunt who was visiting from Canada took 6 bags home with her for the family!

    Ah, you've reminded me of this R4 program from May 2012 "Seaweed the Forgotton Food"

    I really love the Nori you get around Sushi. I wonder why not more popular?

    That's very true, please accept my apologies for my failing memory.

    Big in France - everywhere except UK today - used to be a big Scottish seaweed industry. Iodine - can't have enough of it.

    Carrageen (Chondrus Crispus) harvested on the west coast of Ireland is a great cough remedy.

    There is a pilot project producing biogas from seaweed just down the road from me here in the south of Sweden, no link to the research unfortunately but I definitely think that it has potential to be part of the fuel mix in the future.
