Problem
Current methods for removing CO₂ from natural waters lack real-time monitoring and control, leading to uncertainty in the effectiveness and safety of carbon removal and storage processes. This uncertainty hinders the scalability and widespread adoption of aquatic carbon removal strategies.
Solution
Vycarb offers a technology for direct and autonomous measurement of the full carbon cycle in natural waters. Their drop-in water treatment systems detect excess CO₂ and dose the water with precise quantities of alkalinity, converting the CO₂ into stable carbon forms that are stored in the ocean. This approach enables waterfront industries, ports, and municipalities to implement cost-effective carbon removal projects while ensuring the safe and permanent management of carbon in water.
Target Audience
Vycarb's primary customers are coastal communities, waterfront industries, ports, and municipalities seeking to implement carbon removal projects and meet emissions targets.
