What We Do
Carbon to Sea Initiative is systematically evaluating OAE as a climate solution through grant making and direct programs. We are the leading philanthropic funder of OAE research, without commercial interests.
Foundational Research and Technology
We fund scientific research to systematically assess the conditions under which OAE can safely and permanently remove CO2 from the air.
We have committed almost $25 million in research and technology development projects across the globe. These research teams include dozens of world-leading experts on subjects ranging from geochemistry to ecotoxicology to physical oceanography.
Field Research Sites
We are building a global network of field research sites to advance our understanding of OAE in real-world environments. We create open and carefully overseen research sites so that scientists can contribute valuable data with transparent outcomes.
Policy & Communications
We work alongside many partners to unlock public funding for OAE and advocate for regulatory frameworks that can promote responsible and effective research.
Responsible Sector Development
We promote evidence-based best practices to lay the foundation for a highly accountable, collaborative, and transparent ocean-based CDR sector.
