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 […]
Environmental Baseline Survey Characterises St Ives Bay
Planetary has released an Environmental Baseline Survey report to document the environmental conditions in and around St Ives Bay, particularly the marine environment surrounding the wastewater diffusers off Godrevy Head. This report, prepared in support of the proposed ocean alkalinity enhancement carbon removal trial, contributes to our scientific understanding of the local marine environment, and […]
Initial Ecotoxicological Testing Results
As part of our ongoing effort to assess the safety of our proposed projects, Planetary is working with Carbon to Sea, a nonprofit initiative with a mission to evaluate OAE as a viable pathway to repair historic carbon pollution. As part of that work, Planetary submitted several alkalinity sources for ecotoxicological testing by an independent […]
