Equatic: Revolutionizing Carbon Removal and Hydrogen Production in Ocean-Based Process
Key Ideas
  • Equatic technology aims to address carbon emissions by extracting CO2 from seawater, enhancing the ocean's carbon removal capacity and producing green hydrogen simultaneously.
  • The process involves electrochemical reactions in seawater to create limestone, magnesite, and hydrogen, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution for carbon sequestration.
  • Equatic has garnered investments and is advancing from pilot to commercial scale, with plans for a large-scale CDR plant in Singapore by 2026, contributing to global decarbonization efforts.
  • Partnerships with organizations like Boeing indicate growing interest in Equatic's technology for carbon removal and hydrogen production, aligning with global sustainability goals.
The world is facing the critical challenges of reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. Equatic, a groundbreaking technology developed by researchers at UCLA, offers a solution that not only addresses carbon dioxide removal (CDR) but also produces green hydrogen. By utilizing an ocean-based process that extracts CO2 from seawater, Equatic enhances the ocean's capacity to absorb carbon while generating clean fuel. The technology involves a unique electrochemical process in seawater that creates limestone, magnesite, and hydrogen, making the entire process sustainable and efficient. Equatic's approach eliminates the need for CO2 stripping, transportation, and geological storage, presenting a promising solution for carbon sequestration. With investments from various foundations and organizations, Equatic is transitioning from small pilot facilities to a large-scale commercial deployment. Plans for a significant CDR plant in Singapore by 2026 demonstrate the company's commitment to scaling up its impact on global decarbonization efforts. Partnerships with industry leaders like Boeing highlight the growing recognition of Equatic's potential in driving sustainability. Agreements to supply carbon-negative hydrogen and remove significant amounts of CO2 demonstrate the practical applications and demand for Equatic's innovative solution. As Equatic advances towards commercialization and deployment of large-scale plants, it not only contributes to climate change mitigation but also paves the way for a more sustainable and greener future.
