  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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The team at Planetary is excited to share the launch of the Joint Learning Opportunity (JLO) initiative. The JLO initiative is being led by local community leaders at Carbon to Sea and COVE. The goal of this initiative is to support private, academic, and public sector organizations who wish to perform complimentary research, development, and […]
