🌊 Aloha from Hawaii! This week, the Captura team is thrilled to be visiting our partner NELHA at the stunning HOST Park in Kailua-Kona — the site where our 1,000-ton-per-year pilot project will be installed next month. We’re especially excited to join NELHA's 50th Anniversary Celebration this Saturday, October 19th, at their Open House event. We're looking forward to meeting and celebrating with the local community and the incredible innovators who make up HOST Park’s thriving ocean science ecosystem. For five decades, NELHA (Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority) has been fostering green economic growth in Kona. At HOST Park, groundbreaking work in renewable energy, aquaculture, and ocean-based technologies takes place, generating almost $150 million annually for Hawaii’s economy and creating over 600 jobs statewide. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with everyone and sharing more about how Captura’s work aligns with NELHA's mission of advancing sustainable innovation as an engine for economic development in Hawaii. See you at the event! https://lnkd.in/ge3AXSdG #NELHA50 #HOSTPark #DirectOceanCapture #OceanScience #Sustainability #GreenEconomy 

We were delighted to host the team from our investor, National Grid, at our HQ recently - Stephen Smith, President, Brett Chandler, VP, Head of Business Development, and Gerard Kelly, VP of Innovation & Venture Acceleration. Their visit reflects the shared vision we have for advancing feasible, scalable climate solutions. At Captura, we are commercializing #DirectOceanCapture technology – a carbon removal solution that needs no absorbents, produces no waste, works with intermittent renewable energy, and can be deployed wherever there is access to the ocean. With the support of our partners and investors like National Grid, we are rapidly progressing through our technology piloting program, bringing us closer to deploying large-scale commercial facilities in multiple regions around the globe. The North Sea, for example, is a high-potential location where our technology could make a significant impact on decarbonization efforts. Thank you to National Grid, and all our partners, for your continued support. #CarbonRemoval #Partnerships #NetZero

Captura’s RD&D program is expanding in Los Angeles and Hawaii! With new projects and expanded programs, this work is bringing us closer to deploying #DirectOceanCapture at large, commercial scale. In Hawaii, we’re building our third pilot system in partnership with Equinor. With a capacity to capture 1000 tons of CO2 annually, the pilot will be installed at the Hawai‘i Ocean Science and Technology Park – a leading ocean research facility run by NELHA. And at the site of our 100-ton-per-year pilot facility at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, our team is testing new technology breakthroughs and expanding our ocean health and MRV program.

When the team heard "Painting and Pinot," we all thought, "How hard could it be?" Fast forward to a few masterpieces (and a few creative interpretations), and we’re happy to report that no wine was wasted—though some canvases might never recover. 😅 Here’s to team building that looks like art class, tastes like a vineyard, and feels like a yoga session. 🎨 #TeamBuilding #MasterpiecesInTheMaking 

Super humble and honored to share the stage with Captura CEO Steve Oldham at the CCUS World Conference in Tokyo, Japan! We pitched Direct Ocean Capture technology to the Japanese delegates and experts in the CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) field. #Captura #DirectOceanCapture #DOC #CCUS #CarbonRemoval

Captura's CEO, Steve Oldham, recently had the honor to present at Smart Energy Week in Japan! In his talk, Steve highlighted the immense potential of our oceans to help us tackle the urgent challenge of removing excess CO2 from the atmosphere. 🌍 Achieving net zero requires solutions that can achieve massive scale and affordable cost, without impacting our fragile eco-systems. Steve shared insights on how Captura’s innovative #DirectOceanCapture technology leverages the natural abilities of the ocean to do just that. A special thank you to our investor, Japan Airlines Innovation Fund and Shiro Matsuzaki, for their support in advancing scalable marine carbon removal solutions in partnership with us. ✈️ #carbonremoval #cleantech #netzero #SmartEnergyWeek #JAL

"What attracted me to Captura is we have no absorbents, no by-products, we use only renewable energy and ocean water... when we think about a gigaton-scale industry, not having any waste or input material really lends itself to widescale adoption." Thank you to Susan Su and the Climate on the Edge podcast for featuring Captura's CEO, Steve Oldham. In this episode, Steve discusses our innovative #DirectOceanCapture solution and how what was once considered Plan B is now Plan A, highlighting the urgent need to scale up a range of climate solutions. 🌎 🌊 Listen below! ⬇ #CarbonRemoval #ClimatePodcasts #CDR #XPRIZE

At Captura we’re proud of our fantastic soccer team. By far the best soccer team from any marine-based carbon dioxide removal startup company in the entire east Pasadena, California area! Work - Life balance matters and so does forming friendships and bonds with co-workers. Go Captura! #carbonremoval

Last week, Captura’s CEO, Steve Oldham, and Maya Kashapov, Business Development, had the privilege of attending the Carbon Removal Capital Summit in San Francisco, organized by Santander and XPRIZE. As one of the Top 20 Finalists in the XPRIZE Carbon Removal Competition, Captura is honored to be part of a global cohort dedicated to advancing solutions for large-scale carbon removal.   This summit provided a valuable platform for fostering meaningful connections between leading carbon removal innovators and investors. These partnerships are critical in driving the industry toward the scale necessary to meet global climate goals.   We sincerely thank the XPRIZE Carbon Removal team — Nikki Batchelor, Roopa Dandamudi, Kelsey Miller, and Michael Leitch — for creating an environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.   #XPRIZE #CDR #DirectOceanCapture
