About us
Calcarea is committed to sequestering CO2 at scale. We are focused on using the Accelerated Weathering of Limestone (AWL) on large ships to both specifically decarbonize the shipping industry and then to go after all hard to decarbonize sectors of the economy.

We celebrate #WorldOceansDay together with our portfolio of deep-tech startups working to protect the #ocean and #Planet through #decarbonisation solutions for the #shipping industry. At Posidonia, these early-stage companies were able to present their technologies to maritime stakeholders and we are especially proud that Calcarea took home the #Posidonia2024 SHIPPINGInsight SharkTank Innovation Award after beating the competition. Named after the Calcareous sponge, their technology captures emissions directly from the source, safely converting carbon to salt. Congratulations!

The ocean acts like a giant antacid, using limestone reserves to neutralize excess CO2, a key driver of climate change. However, this process is too slow to keep up with human carbon emissions, especially with the global shipping industry contributing 3% of global CO2 emissions. USC, Caltech and startup Calcarea have developed a reactor that mimics this natural process but works exponentially faster. 'What takes nature years, our reactors achieve in mere minutes,' explains William Berelson of USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. This innovative technology captures carbon emissions directly from cargo ships and diesel-powered vessels, offering a promising solution to curb the shipping industry's carbon footprint. ⛴️

The International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) today published its long-awaited advisory opinion on climate change. The opinion was requested in 2022 by the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change & International Law, which asked ITLOS to opine on States obligations to address climate change under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNCLOS). In today's opinion, ITLOS made some big pronouncements. In this post and the comments below, I share a few that stood out to me when reading the 153 page opinion. For a more detailed discussion, check out the Sabin Center’s Climate Law Blog where, over the next week or so, we’ll be posting a series of reflections on the opinion from legal experts across the globe. (1) Anthropogenic GHG emissions into the atmosphere constitute “pollution of the marine environment” within the terms of UNCLOS. That is something legal scholars & others have long argued but ITLOS has not directly said until now. (2) States have an obligation under UNCLOS to take “all necessary measures” to prevent, reduce, & control marine pollution. In the context of climate change, this means reducing emissions. There is little discussion in the ITLOS opinion of the need for GHG removal. The possibility of “marine geoengineering” is mentioned once in a fairly negative way. ITLOS opines that “marine geoengineering would be contrary to [UNCLOS] if it has the consequence of transforming one type of pollution into another.” ITLOS also notes that marine geoengineering has been the subject of “discussions and regulations in [other] fora” (eg, under the LC/LP), perhaps suggesting that the judges see those treaties as the right place to address mCDR and other similar activities. (3) States cannot satisfy their obligations under UNCLOS “simply by complying with the obligations and commitments under the Paris Agreement.” But the temperature goals and timeline for emission pathways set in the Paris Agreement are relevant to determining what constitutes “necessary measures” to be taken under UNCLOS. In effect, then, the Paris Agreement can be thought of as setting the “floor” but not the “ceiling” for action. (4) The “necessary measures” any state is required to take under UNCLOS will depend, at least in part, on its scientific, technical, & financial capacity. Consistent with the CBDR principle, ITLOS suggests that more may be expected of developed States than developing ones. But the latter aren’t off the hook. According to ITLOS, “all States must make mitigation efforts.”

Today, we're thrilled to announce that our company Calcarea, a climate tech startup focused on storing #CO2 safely and permanently as salty water founded by Jess Adkins, Pierre Forin and Prof. William Berelson, has officially come out of stealth! ⚓ 🌍 Our reactors accelerate the Earth's natural buffering reaction to deal with anthropogenic CO2. Our scientific team spent >15 years in research at Caltech and University of Southern California before joining forces with our extraordinary partners The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Azolla Ventures, Propeller, Caltech and lomarlabs, to go build reactors and reduce climate disruption. The first reactor, called Ripple 1, is installed at University of Southern California, while the next generations Ripple 2 and 3 are in operation at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles in the Port of Los Angeles. Read more about our journey in the article below! 🌊 Special thanks to our team of rockstars Reece Pacheco, Johanna Wolfson, David B. Rogers, Julie Schoenfeld, Sam Lefkofsky for their support, and thanks Stylianos and the lomarlabs's team for your continuous and valuable guidance! www.calcarea.com Many thanks to the New Scientist for the article! #climatetech #Shipping #Onboardcapture https://lnkd.in/gaRcisQK

Hello LinkedIn, we are Calcarea! 🌊 We have been working for the past two years developing a reactor which can scrub carbon dioxide from ship-board exhaust and can sequester the #CO2 at sea as salty water, by accelerating the Earth's own Ocean Geochemistry. We are now announcing ourselves to you, because it's time to bring this to scale. 🌍 Are you an investor or policy-maker eager to learn more? Are you a shipper looking to cut your GHG emissions? Reach out, we're eager to help! Special thanks to the Carbon Herald for the article!
