To provide a seaweed resource conversion system that can effectively utilize carbon dioxide generated in a fermentation device.SOLUTION: A seaweed resource conversion system according to one embodiment includes: a carbonization device that heats seaweed taken from underwater in a low-oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration lower than that of the air and produces biochar; and a fermentation device that ferments other seaweed taken from underwater, using yeast. The carbon dioxide generated in the fermentation device is introduced to the carbonization device, thus producing a low-oxygen atmosphere.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】発酵装置において発生する二酸化炭素を有効利用可能な海藻資源化システムを提供すること。【解決手段】本開示の一態様に係る海藻資源化システムは、海中から採取した海藻を大気中よりも酸素濃度が低い低酸素雰囲気下において加熱し、バイオ炭を生成する炭化装置と、海中から採取した他の海藻を酵母によって発酵させる発酵装置と、を備えた海藻資源化システムである。発酵装置において発生した二酸化炭素を、炭化装置に導入し、低酸素雰囲気を生成する。【選択図】図１
