Planetary is a pioneering company dedicated to combating climate change by leveraging and enhancing the ocean's natural capacity for carbon dioxide removal. The company focuses on restoring the chemistry of seawater to support marine life and protect the planet, addressing the critical issue of ocean acidification caused by rising atmospheric CO2 levels.

Their innovative approach utilizes Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE), a process that involves introducing purified alkaline minerals into coastal outfalls. These outfalls are strategically located at existing infrastructure sites, such as power plants and wastewater treatment facilities, integrating their solution directly into established industrial operations. This method significantly boosts the water's buffering capacity, enabling it to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into stable bicarbonate, thereby achieving permanent carbon removal.

The outcomes of Planetary's process are multifaceted, delivering not only permanent carbon removal but also crucial reductions in ocean acidity and the strengthening of marine ecosystems. The company emphasizes a science-driven and transparent methodology, collaborating extensively with world-class scientific institutions, regulators, and local communities to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and verifiable impact of their carbon removal methods. Through these efforts, Planetary aims to accelerate global climate action by restoring the ocean's vital role in climate regulation.
