Harnessing the power of the ocean to heal the climate.
About us
The ocean is an immensely powerful force of nature, and our greatest ally to reverse the tides on climate change. By studying the planet’s natural cycles, Captura designed a solution that removes CO2 from the ocean and harnesses its ability to heal the climate—a process known as Direct Ocean Capture. Developed and proven in Caltech’s laboratories, our unique Direct Ocean Capture technology runs with just two ingredients: seawater and renewable electricity. It extracts CO2 directly from seawater to be permanently stored or reused. This amplifies the natural equilibrium between the ocean and atmosphere, drawing carbon out of the air and into the ocean to rebalance. Captura’s approach requires no rare-Earth minerals, adds nothing to the ocean, and leaves no chemicals behind. It’s a low-cost, large-scale carbon removal solution that is environmentally sound.

We are proud to be featured by National Geographic and Marcello Rossi, showcasing our #DirectOceanCapture technology. As Steve Oldham, Captura’s CEO, explains, “What we do is basically removing carbon dioxide from the seawater and then returning the decarbonated water to the ocean so it can suck more of the greenhouse gas out of the air. It’s like wringing out a sponge to boost its absorption power.” Thank you for highlighting our process as we work on scaling our technology to address carbon emissions on a global level. #ClimateTech #CarbonRemoval #SustainableInnovation https://lnkd.in/gJFP22MG

Happy World Oceans Day from all of us at Captura! 🌊 Today, we recognize the ocean not only as a vast and beautiful expanse but as our planet’s greatest ally against climate change. With its ability to absorb ~30% of the Earth’s carbon emissions, the ocean plays a crucial role in moderating our climate. However, as emissions reach record highs, the ocean is experiencing significant impacts, such as temperature rise and acidification, posing risks to marine life and biodiversity. At Captura, we are driven by our commitment to safeguarding the ocean’s health. Our #DirectOceanCapture technology is designed to safely extract CO2 from the ocean without any additives or byproducts. We are proud to contribute to efforts that work to protect the marine ecosystem while fighting climate change. #WorldOceansDay #ClimateAction
