We have been developing a technique for absorbing and immobilizing carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere from large-scale plants on macroalgae. In this study, we investigated the effect of the macroalgae around seawater current velocity and carbon dioxide on the growth of the promising Gracilaria tikvahiae as a biomass resource. According to the results of the recent study, the highest growth of G tikvahiae was obtained with high concentration carbon dioxide (1%), which was 28 times with the normal condition. As a result, the current velocity of seawater is playing an important role in the exchange of the materials surrounding seaweed. The study confirmed that growth of G tikvahiae is promoted by an appropriate flow rate and that as high the current velocity will be as more inhibition growth can be.
