From Sea to Storage: Scalable Carbon Removal with Renewable-Powered Electrochemistry

SeaO2 is a Dutch Ocean Carbon Removal company committed to addressing climate change through removing CO2 from the atmosphere at gigaton-scale, harnessing the potential of the oceans. 

SeaO2's solution is Direct Ocean Capture, which relies solely on renewable electricity and seawater to extract CO2 from seawater and consequently from the atmosphere in a scalable and cost-effective way. 

The process uses electrochemistry to produce an acid and base streams, effectively separated by a bipolar membrane in the electrochemical stack. The acid stream is used to shift the carbonate equilibrium of water and transform the existing dissolved inorganic carbon into gaseous CO2 and extract it in gas form with the help of vacuum. After restoring the pH of the decarbonized water with the basic stream previously produced, the water is returned to the ocean, where it re-equilibrates from the atmosphere, effectively reabsorbing an equivalent amount of CO2. The extracted CO₂ is permanently stored in geological formations or utilised into products such as concrete or alternative fuels like green methanol with third party providers.
