UCLA and Equatic to build world’s largest ocean-based plant for carbon removal. The $20 million system in Singapore will be capable of removing 3,650 metric tons of CO2 per year.
The $20 million system in Singapore will be capable of removing 3,650 metric tons of CO2 per year while producing 105 tons of clean hydrogen.
Last October, Time magazine named a technology developed by the UCLA startup Equatic that removes carbon dioxide from seawater while producing carbon-negative hydrogen, a clean fuel, one of its best inventions of 2023. The innovative process durably stores the carbon dioxide in the form of solid minerals and allows the ocean to absorb more of the greenhouse gas from the atmosphere, helping to combat climate change. Over the next 18 months, a multidisciplinary team of researchers and technology-scaling experts from the UCLA institute and Equatic will set out to build the world’s largest ocean-based CO2-removal plant in Tuas, in western Singapore.
