Equatic Seawater Alkalinization: 96–98% CO₂ Removal in Lab Tests
Ocean-based carbon dioxide removal has long carried a reputation for being conceptually promising but empirically vague. New lab results from a study on Equatic’s electrolysis process push things in a more concrete direction. The study tested seawater alkalinization via two methods — direct and sequential carbonation — using Equatic’s electrolysis approach. Both methods achieved 96–98% CO₂ removal efficiency. Both sequestered approximately 3.5 grams of CO₂ per liter of treated seawater. ...
