About Us
Our Vision and Mission
We are committed to building a platform that will advance the restoration of our oceans' natural balance, reverse the damaging effects of acidification on marine life and our climate, to leave a healthier planet for the next generation.
As a first mover in this space, we aim to provide the lowest carbon feedstock from the outset to ensure Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement can be deployed at scale and achieve meaningful climate impact.
Our Technology
Low Carbon Alkalinity, the essential element for Carbon Dioxide Removal
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement, the addition of alkaline materials to seawater, is emerging as one of the most promising technologies to capture and remove gigatonnes of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
Our technology extracts ultra-low carbon alkaline feedstock from olivine, an abundant mineral with terratonnes of global reserves.
The low carbon footprint of our alkaline feedstock maximizes the portion of captured carbon dioxide that qualifies as permanently removed through OAE. This reduces costs across the board, as less feedstock is required.
In addition to alkaline feedstock, our technology extracts nickel, cobalt, chromium and silica. These are sold as low carbon-products.
Production costs are distributed across both OAE feedstock and co-products, reducing the levelised cost of carbon removal.
A diversified revenue stack generates healthy returns making projects bankable, even at unsubsidised market prices for carbon, an essential precursor to scale up.
Key Benefits
Advantages of Our Solutions
Discover the benefits of our OAE technology:
Maximum Carbon Dioxide Removal Potential
High carbon dioxide removal efficency
With a target of 100kg of CO2e/t Mg(OH)2 the Carbon Dioxide Removal potential is 90% of the theoretical maximum.
High Permanence of CDR
Low secondary precipitation risk
Magnesium concentrations in sea water are well below saturation points. Magnesium Hydroxide can be added to seawater with little risk of triggering secondary precipitation of carbonates.
Safe Levels of Alkalinity
Low risk of exceeding safe levels of Alkalinity
In lab conditions, the maximum achievable pH that can be reached by adding Magnesium Hydroxide to seawater is around pH9.0. The effects of dilution and solubility rates result in much lower levels.
Low Toxicity Risks
Heavy metals are removed
Our process removes all metal from our raw material, Olivine, to produce pure Magnesium Hydroxide, thus reducing the complexity of environmental risk management processes.
Gigaton Scale-Up
Gigatonnes of Olivine Reserves
The raw material for our process is Olivine; the largest single reserve is estimated to be in excess of 1,400 Million Gigatonnes.
