Grant & Program Funding

Carbon to Sea has awarded or committed more than $27 million in grant and program funding to support OAE science, technology, field research, and policy 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 exploring other key areas of OAE research.
