'First-of-Its-Kind' Technology Turns Ocean Pollutant into Seashell Dust -
The ocean is one of our most important allies in combating harmful carbon pollution, and California-based startup Equatic plans to enhance this role with technology that tackles two key challenges: removing harmful carbon pollution and reducing the use of dirty energy through carbon credits.
"Equatic's first-of-its-kind technology solves both. … [It's] the most promising solution," Lorenzo Corsini, the Principal Advisor at Equatic, said in a press release.
The ocean already absorbs about 31% of harmful carbon pollution, but that doesn't come without a cost. When carbon levels in the water rise, a chemical reaction occurs that affects the environment's acidity, disrupting the habitat of numerous sea creatures.
The company's technology works by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) and turning it into a material similar to seashell dust, generating carbon credits. Click the link below to read the full story...
