Energy use in the emerging kelp industry: Reflections from Kodiak
August 26, 2025
As kelp farming grows each year, farmers, processors and researchers are innovating new ways for this industry to be regenerative and independent of fossil fuels. ACEP summer intern Emma Kehoe visited Kodiak Island to explore this environmentally conscious industry further and learn from farmers themselves about the electric equipment they need. Born and raised in Talkeetna, Kehoe has seen the impacts of strong communities who work together. Through her internship work and her visit with the kelp farmers, she has seen another developing community -- researchers, farmers and engineers working together to build a sustainable kelp industry for the better.
