We won’t conduct studies that we think are likely to cause harm. That simply would go against everything we believe in – our code of conduct, the scientific method, our dedication to restore the ocean. Nonetheless, we still need to monitor and record our activities in the ocean – both to be sure that our assumptions are correct and nothing Read more…
One question that we have received lately, which caused us a little pause, is around the moral hazard of carbon removal. People here at Planetary have made a choice to fight against climate change and generally we agree with the IPCC that carbon removal is necessary. However, we feel it’s a good idea to reflect on the question “Should you Read more…
Planetary Technologies is excited to engage with the community in Cornwall and Hayle, UK as we kick off our upcoming research study! The research we are currently undertaking is critically important if we are going to collectively meet our climate goals around the world and we are excited to be connecting with the community on this important topic. Over the Read more…
We are excited to announce the release of the world’s first Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal (oCDR) Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Protocol designed to allow Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement projects to deliver carbon removals, ensuring their accuracy and transparency. The open-source protocol provides clear guidelines for developing ocean CDR projects, including how to calculate carbon removal and estimate lifetime storage. It Read more…
We are so proud to be nominated for the Revive our Oceans Earthshot thanks to PDIE Group About Earthshot:Launched by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and The Royal Foundation in 2020, the Earthshot Prize is the most prestigious global environment prize in history. It is designed to incentivise change and help repair our planet over the next ten years. The Read more…
The NBC Today Show has created a profile of the Planetary Ocean CDR solution to restore the ocean and climate. Cynthia McFadden, the senior investigative correspondent for NBC News, walked through the entire journey with us, from the mine to the ocean, to understand its safety and efficacy.

Trust. We commit to a code of conduct so you can trust that we’ll do the right thing. The race against climate change isn’t getting any easier, but the world is making some progress, and this gives me hope. The pendulum of public support continues to swing toward action. Youth around the world are driving a tidal wave of support Read more…
Originally published via MCJ Collective Climate Voices Everyone following the climate crisis knows that we have a massive two-part challenge: reduce carbon emissions to zero, and remove excess carbon that has already been dumped into the atmosphere. If that weren’t hard enough, we must do it quickly, safely, cheaply, and at a massive scale. When looking for recent examples of Read more…
It’s a film cliché, putting together the perfect team for the heist. The safe cracker, wheelman, muscle and so on. But in this case the team is comprised of four Dalhousie researchers, the ocean chemist, physicist, biologist, and sensor specialist — and rather than stealing millions, the payday is the extraction of a gigaton of carbon from the atmosphere. This Read more…
The XPRIZE isn’t about money. It’s about improving our odds in the race against climate change. Something I’ve learned in this race is that healing the climate is complicated. Like really really complicated. As the saying goes, it is easier to make a mess than to clean it up, and society has already gone down the easy route. Fossil fuels Read more…
