Title:
Operational Cost Reduction for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) Deployment
Agreement Number:
1040408
Agreement Value:
$990,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 1, 2026 - Mar 25, 2027
Description:
The primary objective of this project is to commercially validate a calcium-based ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) dosing system that achieves a minimum 60% reduction in operating cost per tonne of CO2 removed, while delivering 12,000 tonnes of verified carbon within the 2026 calendar year.
Successful completion will demonstrate that calcium-based feedstocks can replace imported magnesium materials while maintaining reliable, creditable, and community-supported operations which are requirements for future commercial scale deployment.
