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?

Jul 26, 2024

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

Jul 03, 2024

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 […]
