In this paper, the authors use a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach to calculate the LLCS of seaweed, which can be understood as the difference between carbon fixation and released carbon throughout the life cycle of seaweed. Using kelp (Laminaria japonica) as an example of seaweed, the present study validates the procedure of calculating the LLCS of seaweed throughout its whole life cycle in Ailian Bay from nursery to processing into biochar (fertilizer) as the final product.
