Efficient CO₂ Removal from Seawater – A Key to Addressing the Climate Crisis, Contributing to the Reduction of Residual Emissions
Efficient CO₂ removal from seawater – Technologies for a climate-neutral future
Oceans store about 30% of the CO₂ produced by humans, playing a key role in the global carbon cycle. The CO₂ concentration in seawater is roughly 150 times higher than in the atmosphere, and the two are in chemical equilibrium. This property can be leveraged to enable a more resource-efficient and effective CO₂ removal (CDR) compared to air-based methods.
CarbonOcean harnesses this potential: We develop sustainable technologies to extract CO₂ from seawater, actively reducing atmospheric CO₂. At the same time, we are unlocking CO₂ as a raw material for a climate-neutral economy – from the production of sustainable fuels to building materials and chemical products.
Our solution offers several advantages:
- Higher Efficiency: Due to the higher CO₂ concentration in seawater, ocean-CDR could be more energy-efficient than air-based methods. However, its implementation requires further innovations.
- Klimatische Rückkopplung: CO₂ removal from seawater affects atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, as both systems are in equilibrium. This feedback could help reduce global CO₂ levels, but further research is needed.
- Nachhaltige Nutzung: Instead of just storing CO₂, we are developing applications that use it as a climate-neutral raw material for fuels, building materials, or chemical products. This is a key step toward a CO₂ circular economy, which requires research, industry collaboration, and regulation.
With CarbonOcean, we combine science and technology to create solutions for a climate-neutral CO₂ circular economy, bridging economic progress with environmental responsibility.
