Research and Technology Grantees

We awarded more than $24 million in grant funding to support OAE science and technology teams around the world.


Those teams are systematically evaluating the safety, efficacy, and permanence of numerous OAE pathways; developing prototypes for alkalinity generation and delivery; conducting rigorous techno-economic and life-cycle assessments, and catalyzing groundbreaking field research.
