In order to decarbonize the grid, the world needs better carbon data and analytics. To support this mission, Singularity Energy is building the world's highest quality view of historical, real-time, and forecasted grid carbon emissions. Today, grid carbon data is siloed, outdated, and lacks spatial and temporal granularity, and with new climate pledges and decarbonization plans being announced every day, there is a tremendous need to get the underlying data right. We started by launching a data and analytics&nbsp;<a href="https://carbonara.energy/">platform</a>&nbsp;(with 700M+ data points and growing) that helps companies build carbon-aware products, and we're looking to grow our team in order to improve the sophistication of our offerings and expand our capabilities to become the 'carbon intelligence layer' for companies and governments.

Our mission is twofold: to provide high quality North Atlantic sea vegetables as user-friendly foods, supported by reliable information; and to build respectful, long-term relationships with our customers, suppliers, employees and the environment.Intentions: We strive for honesty, accountability, patience, and care. We understand that these gifts from the sea come with a responsibility to apply evolving sustainable practices in growing, harvesting, processing and distributing. These intentions also apply to our community outreach efforts and customer education.Maine Coast Sea Vegetables was founded in 1971 by Shep and Linnette Erhart in their farmhouse kitchen, inspired by a pot of miso soup that was especially delicious. They realized that the soups’ full, rich flavor came from the wild Alaria they had gathered from the shores of the Schoodic Peninsula, and they soon began sharing their Atlantic Wakame and other wild-harvested sea vegetables with friends and neighbors. At the time, there were few other folks harvesting and selling seaweed in Maine, and within a few years the Erhart’s built one of the most recognized and trusted brands in the industry. Today, Maine Coast Sea Vegetables is a 100% employee-owned company operating out of a modern processing plant in Hancock, Maine.&nbsp; Every year, our team of over twenty people sorts, packs and ships several hundred thousand pounds of sea vegetables to customers all across the United States (&amp;&nbsp;Canada).&nbsp; We pride ourselves on being able to offer reliable and trustworthy information on the nutritional, health, culinary, and environmental benefits of North American sea vegetables.Most of our sea vegetables are harvested from the cold waters of the North Atlantic. Harvest grounds are carefully chosen to be in compliance with Organic Certification to ensure the highest standards of quality, purity, and long-term sustainability.&nbsp; We <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://seaveg.com/pages/product-testing">test our sea vegetables</a> every year for microbes, heavy metals, radioactivity, and other pollutants.&nbsp; Our sea vegetables are a whole food from the ocean. They’re dried at low temperature, carefully hand-graded for quality, and some are milled; but they are otherwise minimally processed before packaging in our certified organic facility in Hancock, Maine.

We sell 9 species of Certified Organic, wild harvested &amp; responsibly-sourced, dried seaweed from the North Atlantic.

We are a biomaterials company turning agricultural waste into useable biopolymers. PHAs are biodegradable and can replace conventional plastics, making them ideal for food packaging and medical applications. In 2019, 44 million tons of plastic waste was produced in the United States. California alone produces 3 million tons of wine grapes annually, with 80% of pomace waste being usable for PHA production. We develop circular systems with winemakers, integrating pomace utilization into existing ecosystems, and creating scalable, sustainable bioplastic products. We intend to expand this formula for use with other agricultural waste biomass.&nbsp;
