Equatic, a carbon removal startup, has announced the manufacturing of its oxygen-selective anodes (OSAs) technology in San Diego, California. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E, the team is set to enhance their carbon removal and clean hydrogen production operations. The technology, developed with a grant from ARPA-E, allows for electrolysis using ocean water, generating hydrogen gas as clean energy while maintaining the stability of chlorine in the salt. This advancement offers a sustainable alternative to traditional methods by eliminating the necessity for pure water. Equatic's breakthrough includes the development of electrodes with finely-architectured catalysts, enabling the extension of anodes' lifespan through affordable catalyst coatings. With the potential to achieve gigaton levels of carbon removal, Equatic aims to make significant strides towards global climate goals. The chief operating officer expressed confidence in Equatic's ability to assist coastal regions worldwide in contributing to a sustainable future. The announcement signifies a major step in the advancement of carbon removal and hydrogen production technologies, with a focus on innovation and sustainability.
