Carbon capture is one of the most pressing environmental challenges. While there are numerous technologies aimed at reducing emissions, few address removing the carbon already present in the atmosphere.

What is the Equatic process?

It mainly relies on accelerating the ocean’s natural ability to absorb and store carbon. The process involves combining seawater with renewable electricity. During this process, hydrogen is produced, and carbon dioxide is captured. The carbon dioxide is not only removed from the atmosphere but also converted into safe and durable forms, stably stored in the oceans, ensuring permanent elimination.

How does this technology work?

The process uses a component called an electrolyzer, which applies an electric current to seawater. This device separates water molecules, triggering a chemical reaction that captures dissolved carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the water. The CO₂ is converted into mineral solids, which remain safely in the ocean. Meanwhile, hydrogen is generated as a byproduct, which can be stored and used as a clean energy source. The entire process is powered by renewable electricity, making it sustainable. In this way, it can at least reduce current emissions and contribute to the decarbonization of hard-to-electrify industries such as aviation.

Why is it important to remove carbon from the ocean?

The ocean is the largest natural carbon sink, but with the excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, its ability to absorb carbon decreases. Removing carbon from the ocean will be a key procedure in the global fight against warming and the preservation of marine life.

What are the applications of carbon-negative hydrogen?

Carbon-negative hydrogen is a clean fuel that emits no pollution and also plays a role in traditional carbon removal processes. This is how hydrogen finds relevance in the broader energy sector, particularly in air transportation, where electrification is advanced but more complex. In this way, industries move towards total decarbonization without relying on conventional fossil fuels.

-

How is the effectiveness of this process verified?

The carbon removal process is quantifiable and permanently eliminates carbon. The company works with independent auditing entities, adding an additional level of transparency and trust for stakeholders regarding the reliability and sustainability of this technology.

The combination of advanced technologies focused on measurement allows a measurable impact in the fight against climate change.

Current Application of the Technology and its Benefits

It can be applied today in industrial sectors that need to decarbonize their processes, such as aviation and maritime transport, where fossil fuel use is prevalent. Thanks to the production of carbon-negative hydrogen, clean fuels can be used to replace traditional ones, significantly reducing emissions.

Key benefits:

• Long-term carbon removal: Captures and permanently stores CO₂ in the oceans.
• Clean energy production: Generates hydrogen as a sustainable byproduct.
• Industrial decarbonization: Facilitates the energy transition in hard-to-electrify sectors.
