Description
with AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles that will further advance ocean-climate solutions. AltaSea’s 35-acre blue economy campus will become home to
Captura’s second Direct Ocean Capture pilot system in partnership with AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles. The pilot system will be located at AltaSea’s 35-acre blue economy campus.
The system was funded by SoCalGas and it is a 100x scale-up from Captura’s first pilot.
Captura’s DOC technology leverages the ocean’s natural capacity as a carbon sink to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Powered by renewable energy, the process uses proprietary electrodialysis technology to capture CO2 directly from seawater and deliver it as a measurable stream that can be permanently sequestered or utilized. When the CO2-depleted seawater is returned to the ocean, it has the capacity to absorb the same quantity of CO2 from the air that was originally removed.
