Invest in Ocean-based Climate Solutions
Massively Scalable, Low-Cost Carbon Capture that Revitalizes the Ocean
Highlights
1
🙌 Raised $4 million for testing ocean trials, Sandia & Los Alamos National Labs & Oregon Wave Trust
2
🌊 Wave-powered pumps create phytoplankton blooms that absorb and sequester CO2
3
🚀 Low-cost. Estimated removal is $25/ton at scale vs. direct air capture at $60/ton at scale
4
🐳 Doesn’t harm the ocean ecosystem and benefits sea life by creating more food
Our Team
Hurricane Katrina inspired me to pump cold water to the surface in mass to lower hurricane intensity. That idea proved difficult to monetize. Still, I learned along the way that my invention could artificially upwell cold nutrient-rich seawater to the surface to grow phytoplankton that sequesters CO2, now a much-needed service for our planet.
