Carbon removal company Equatic, with Canadian carbon removal project developer Deep Sky, announced that engineering has commenced on North America’s first commercial-scale ocean-based carbon dioxide removal plant. This plant will remove 109,500 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce 3,600 tons of green hydrogen per year.

Equatic emerges from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering’s Institute for Carbon Management with a carbon dioxide removal agreement from The Boeing Company.
