Join us on April 23 to learn about our new carbon removal credit purchase program and what it will take to catalyze the carbon market with industry experts Akash Rastogi (Ocean Frontier Institute), Rick Berg (@nori) and Tim Bushman (@carbonremovers).

Announcing a new planning tool for ocean iron fertilization (OIF)! 🌊

OIF is a potential strategy to draw down and safely store atmospheric carbon dioxide. This new tool supports the selection of locations for field trials.

We're pleased to have supported this initiative.

#Canada 's voluntary carbon credit market is up & coming.

But catalyzing the market will take not only innovation & investment in marine carbon dioxide removal companies, but also, purchasers.
