Nature Communications Publications Highlights Findings from Cornwall Methods Test in 2022
The late-June publication of Magnesium hydroxide addition reduces aqueous carbon dioxide in wastewater discharged to the ocean marks the culmination of more than three years of work involving a broad collaboration of partners with a shared interest in progressing one of the most promising methods to address the climate crisis. As the very first field […]
“Inventive Intervention for the Climate” An Article from Climate Story Network
Another feature of Planetary’s work in Nova Scotia highlighted by Climate Story Network. This article has a nice overview of our Tufts Cove Project along with the dye tracer study performed by Dalhousie University. We loved this quote from Holly Jean Buck Holly Jean Buck, the author of books like After Geoengineering and Ending Fossil […]
“An Alkaline Solution” – Planetary and OAE highlighted in Science
Planetary’s work in Nova Scotia has been highlighted in a Science magazine feature. The feature takes our Tufts Cove project as a case study while describing the broader state of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) research internationally, noting rising interest in the field, significant environmental and economic potential, and ongoing work being done to […]

Planetary’s 2023 Impact Report
We are excited to announce the release of Planetary’s 2023 Impact Report, showcasing the progress we’ve made in advancing Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) to combat climate change. In this report, you’ll find a detailed look at our 2023 projects, as well as our research, partnerships, and MRV. Our 2023 Impact Report reflects not only our […]
We measured CO2 reduction in wastewater flowing into the ocean. Why can’t we count that as carbon removal?
The peer-reviewed results of the world’s first successful trial of coastal Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) were just published in the scientific journal Nature Communications Earth and Environment. The results of the test confirm the expected reduction of CO2 in the effluent and the rapid dilution after discharge. It’s a dramatic and clear measurement, showing that […]
Community Advisory – July 2024 – Ongoing Ocean Based Carbon Removal Field Trial
Overview Planetary Technologies (Planetary) and independent researchers from Dalhousie University’s Oceanography Department, along with other partners, are collaborating to investigate the efficacy of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) as a method of removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The next step in the investigation is to continue alkalinity addition to Halifax Harbour by Planetary between July […]
