Ocean CO₂ Capture
A Modular, Low-Cost Approach to Climate Action
Small, self-contained electrochemical extraction units that can be attached to existing marine infrastructure or deployed as free-floating devices. Seawater contains 150x the CO₂ concentration of air—making ocean-based extraction significantly more efficient than direct air capture.
Gigaton-Scale Carbon Removal
Innovative Technology
Novel electrochemical approach using bismuth-silver electrodes that extract CO₂ with minimal energy. Creates a local pH swing that releases CO₂ from seawater while returning alkalinized water to the ocean.
Cost-Effective
Each unit designed to cost approximately $100 at scale, with projected carbon removal costs of $65-100 per ton—a significant improvement over existing carbon capture technologies.
Highly Scalable
Modular design allows distributed deployment on vessels, structures, or as independent buoys. With millions of potential deployment points globally, this approach can scale to gigaton-level removal.
Key Advantages
150x CO₂ Concentration
Seawater holds far more CO₂ than air, making extraction dramatically more efficient
Self-Contained Power
Each unit generates its own power with solar panels and wave energy harvesting
Networked Intelligence
Real-time monitoring, optimization, and verification of carbon removal across the fleet
Flexible Deployment
Attach to boats, buoys, piers, or any marine structure with sunlight access
Ocean Alkalinization
Returns alkalinized water to combat ocean acidification—a dual benefit
Verifiable Impact
Each unit tracks and reports extraction metrics for transparent carbon accounting
