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.

Harnessing the power of the ocean to heal the climate.
About us
The ocean is an immensely powerful force of nature, and our greatest ally to reverse the tides on climate change. By studying the planet’s natural cycles, Captura designed a solution that removes CO2 from the ocean and harnesses its ability to heal the climate—a process known as Direct Ocean Capture. Developed and proven in Caltech’s laboratories, our unique Direct Ocean Capture technology runs with just two ingredients: seawater and renewable electricity. It extracts CO2 directly from seawater to be permanently stored or reused. This amplifies the natural equilibrium between the ocean and atmosphere, drawing carbon out of the air and into the ocean to rebalance. Captura’s approach requires no rare-Earth minerals, adds nothing to the ocean, and leaves no chemicals behind. It’s a low-cost, large-scale carbon removal solution that is environmentally sound.

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 last week’s Carbon Removal Capital Summit, organized by XPRIZE and Santander, I got to speak with 8 incredible carbon removal founders for Climate on the Edge https://lnkd.in/gqmzi3rw Steve Oldham, Co-founder and CEO of Captura and an (exited!) OG in carbon removal shared his views on carbon removal as humanity’s climate Plan B and… on what a potential Plan C could be Omar Abou-Sayed, Co-founder and Chairman of Vaulted Deep talked about his compay’s exciting mission of burying toxic sludge – and carbon – in the ultimate externalities fix Martin Freimüller, Co-founder and CEO of Octavia Carbon talked about geographic comparative advantage for direct air capture, and why renewable energy credits could be undermining DAC’s reputation as a carbon removal pathway Jason Aramburu, Co-founder and CEO of Applied Carbon on revenue resilience within carbon removal, and how broader trends around decentralization are changing the game for the world’s biggest current CDR pathway, biochar Axel Reinaud, Co-founder and CEO of NetZero on why carbon removal prices need to go up, not down, to drive scale across the industry Daniel Hooft, Founder and CEO of Kelp Blue on lessons learned from two decades in oil and gas and the moral imperative behind carbon removal Tom G., Co-founder and CEO of Vesta, PBC talked about double-solving for emissions removal and climate adaptation for coastal erosion and sea level rise Jim Mann, Founder and CEO of UNDO on the role of software in the complex work of carbon removal, and whether or not a carbon removal company could ever “AWS” their tech stack If you’re interested in the true frontier of carbon removal, check out all our XPRIZE Summit interviews and subscribe for future episodes https://lnkd.in/gMg2b6je
