Equatic, a carbon removal company, has achieved a significant breakthrough by developing oxygen-selective anodes (OSAs) for scalable hydrogen production through seawater electrolysis. Dr. Xin Chen, Equatic's co-founder, invented OSAs at UCLA with funding from ARPA-E, enabling the utilization of ocean water for electrolysis instead of relying on pure water. This innovation addresses environmental concerns by avoiding chlorine gas production, making the hydrogen generation process safe and sustainable. Equatic's process combines electrolysis with direct air capture, creating a dual-revenue stream that will help lower carbon removal costs to less than $100 per tonne by 2030. The company plans to integrate OSAs into its upcoming demonstration-scale plant in Singapore and the first commercial-scale plant in Quebec, boosting carbon removal and green hydrogen generation capacities. The manufacturing facility in San Diego will play a crucial role in producing 4,000 OSAs annually, with plans for expansion as Equatic's projects grow worldwide, providing job opportunities and fostering a sustainable supply chain. Equatic's innovative approach not only paves the way for efficient carbon removal and clean hydrogen production but also contributes to global climate goals and the development of a domestic clean economy.
