Captura

We're proud to unveil our brand new company video, which gives a behind-the-scenes look at the work we’re doing to scale our #DirectOceanCapture technology!    From our operational plant at the Port of Los Angeles to our headquarters in Pasadena, see how our team is dedicated to creating a scalable and sustainable climate solution.   Our process removes CO2 from the atmosphere by harnessing the power of the ocean, all while ensuring that it is safe for the marine ecosystem through careful monitoring and tracking efforts. 🌊 

Captura is hiring!   As we continue to scale our #DirectOceanCapture technology, we are looking for a Pilot Engineer and an Instrumentation and Controls Engineer to join our fast-growing team!   Born out of Caltech laboratories, with locations in both sunny San Pedro and Pasadena, California, we are seeking experienced self-starters who are excited by the potential of large-scale carbon removal.   Find out more information on the roles below and turn on post notifications to stay up to date on future opportunities!

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

Thank you for highlighting this recognition from the World Economic Forum. Captura is excited to work with society’s foremost political, business, and cultural leaders to address the critical issues facing people and the planet. Together, we aim to shape a global agenda and implement strategies to address carbon emissions on a climate-relevant scale. #TechPioneers24 #CarbonRemoval

As we enter into the final stage of the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition, our team had the pleasure of being the first company to welcome the XPRIZE team to our pilot plant at the Port of Los Angeles and demonstrate first-hand our pathway to addressing carbon emissions at a climate-relevant scale. Thank you to the XPRIZE verification team for making the trip, we had a great time hosting you! #XPRIZECarbonRemoval #GettingtoGigatonne #ClimateAction

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

We are thrilled to announce that the World Economic Forum has named Captura as part of this year’s Technology Pioneers cohort! This recognition highlights our innovative #DirectOceanCapture technology, which harnesses the ocean’s natural processes to remove CO2 from the atmosphere at large scale and low cost.    The Technology Pioneers program identifies companies from around the world that are poised to have a significant impact on business and society through new technologies and innovations. This recognition allows us to share our insights as we scale our technology and offer expertise to the Forum’s global initiatives over the next two years, helping to amplify their impact on combating the world’s most pressing issues in technology and sustainability.   Our inclusion in this year’s cohort underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship. Being selected places Captura among some of the most promising tech groups, working with key leaders across the globe to protect our environment and foster sustainable practices. #TechPioneers24 #ClimateAction

This past month, the Captura team had an excellent time meeting and engaging with fellow members in the blue economy. We enjoyed giving tours of our 100-ton carbon removal pilot plant, discussing our company's recent milestones and our plans to continue scaling our #DirectOceanCapture technology. We are always looking for new ways to collaborate with innovators and explore sustainable solutions. Congratulations to our partners at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles on the grand opening of the Center for Innovation at Berth 58 and to our friends at Braid Theory on their successful annual #IGNITE22 event, which brought together global leaders in the blue economy.
