SeaO₂ in Sciencelink Spotlight 🧪

We are thrilled to announce that SeaO₂ has been featured in a recent ScienceLink article under their industry and start-up headline, showcasing our pioneering work in Direct Ocean Capture (DOC)! The article provides a detailed look into how we are harnessing innovative technology to capture CO₂ from the ocean and help tackle climate change.

The article dives into our pilot setup at the Afsluitdijk, where we're building a container module that strips CO₂ from the North Sea. Our initial goal is to capture 25 tons of CO₂ per year, scaling up to 250 tons by the end of 2025, with plans to eventually reach gigatons by 2045. 💨🌎

Our Co-founder and CEO Ruben Brands proudly shares, "We are committed to achieving climate goals, and the potential for scaling our technology is immense." 🚀 This recognition is a testament to the hard work and innovation that SeaO₂ is driving forward.

In the article, our R&D engineer Phebe van Langevelde explains how our electrochemical process works: "We pump seawater, separate it into acidic and basic streams, shift the carbonate equilibrium, and extract CO₂ using a vacuum." 🧪💧 By removing CO₂ from the water, we create a process that allows CO₂ from the atmosphere to dissolve back into the seawater, following Henry’s Law 🌊.

SeaO₂ is proud to be one of the key players in the growing DOC community and mCDR as a whole. The article also highlights how our founders, David Vermaas and Rose Sharifian, have been integral to the development of this game-changing technology. Together with Ruben Brands, they founded SeaO₂ in 2021, blending academic expertise with business acumen to create a company with global potential.
