In the battle against carbon pollution and harmful energy sources, California’s Equatic is at the vanguard of change. Their pioneering tech confronts two pressing issues: eliminating harmful carbon emissions and lessening our dependence on ecologically detrimental energy. Get ready to meet the future of environmental innovation.
Equatic's Seashell Alchemy: A Revolutionary Eco Solution
Lorenzo Corsini, Equatic’s Principal Advisor, champions their groundbreaking technology as a game-changer, offering the most promising path forward. With oceans absorbing a hefty 31% of carbon pollution, there’s a price to pay as rising carbon levels disrupt marine ecosystems.
However, Equatic’s innovation mirrors nature, converting CO2 into seashell-like material, drawing inspiration from creatures like mollusks, who naturally harness CO2 for their shells. It’s innovation was inspired by the sea itself.
The Process at Work
Equatic’s CO2 removal process relies on air, seawater, rock, and renewable electricity. It’s not only an environmentally friendly solution but also generates hydrogen, a clean form of energy. Unlike oil, coal, or gas, it releases only water into the atmosphere when utilized.
Equatic's Clean Energy Breakthrough and Boeing Partnership
Clean energy, exemplified by hydrogen, is a pivotal player in the battle against environmental harm, igniting hope for our planet’s future and offering lucrative economic potential. Equatic’s remarkable journey extends to a groundbreaking collaboration with Boeing, signing a carbon-removal and hydrogen deal.
Sheila Remes, Boeing’s Vice President of Environmental Sustainability, foresees Equatic’s technology as a critical tool in curbing travel-related pollution and emphasizes the significance of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Ambitious Goals
Equatic’s mission is crystal clear: by 2026, they’re set to eliminate a massive 100,000 metric tons of CO2 annually – imagine 2.2 million cement bags lifted off our planet. With their sights on 2028, they’re aiming for a million-ton mark, forging a path to a cleaner, greener future.
