We are the leading nonprofit effort to evaluate ocean alkalinity enhancement for CO₂ removal at scale
Our work is aligned with key scientific bodies, such as IPCC and the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
As the world’s largest organization pursuing ocean alkalinity enhancement, we fund exceptional researchers to close knowledge gaps and build a responsible sector.
