A revolutionary floating device could remove gigatons of carbon dioxide

the largest natural CO2 absorber in the world  ocean. Our patented electrodialysis process, with minimal environmental impact and using only renewable electricity and ocean water as inputs, generates a stream of clean CO 2 , which can then be isolated or used to produce other low-carbon products.  With no dedicated air contactors, no absorbents, and no by-products, the Captura solution enables large-scale carbon removal at lower costs. It removes carbon dioxide, and then returns to the ocean. This decarbonized water then settles in the upper ocean layer and then reacts with the atmosphere to pull down an equivalent amount of CO 2 .In this way, Captura harnesses the ocean's natural ability to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere. Without Captura technology, this known effect causes increased ocean acidification, as the ocean absorbs 30 % of global emissions. By removing CO 2 from the ocean, Captura technology takes advantage of the ocean's ability to absorb CO 2.
