Geoff Chapin is the Founder and CEO of Carbonwave, a biotechnology company transforming Sargassum’s invasive ocean biomass into high-performance agricultural and industrial products. Sargassum is a rapidly growing seaweed threatening coastlines and marine ecosystems that Carbonwave collects and turns into valuable products.

At the center of this effort is Carbonwave’s SargaPower, a next-generation biostimulant that has demonstrated consistent, measurable impact across a wide range of crops including tomatoes, corn, wheat, soy, barley, and sugar beets. Field trials and commercial deployments have shown significant yield increases—often in the range of 15–20% or more—alongside improved crop quality metrics such as sugar content and fruit uniformity. In competitive trials against dozens of leading biostimulants, Carbonwave’s SargaPower has repeatedly outperformed alternatives, even at half the application rates, giving it a low cost, low volume profile with top tier efficacy, resulting in ROIs to farmers of 18-18X.

Carbonwave’s Sarga Power is a powerful, scalable product for advancing regenerative agriculture and strengthening global food security. By enhancing nutrient uptake, improving soil health, and increasing resilience to environmental stress, it enables farmers to reduce reliance on traditional fertilizers while maintaining or increasing productivity. In a world facing rising input costs, soil degradation, and climate volatility, this approach offers a practical path forward. SargaPower is helping drive a shift toward a more productive, resilient, and sustainable agricultural system.
