Support the procurement of materials for an ocean alkalinity enhancement project
This project will demonstrate the suitability of industrial byproducts for ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) through staged lab-to-pilot experiments that define process design, economics, and key risks. The firm will research and evaluate these diverse feedstocks to determine viability for use in OAE.
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.
Support the Recipient's Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement Project
Design, construct and operate a full scale, continuous Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) system at the Tufts Cove site that is capable of consuming multiple feedstocks in a modular way and can be operated semi-autonomously with a minimal number of operators. Size the system to accommodate dosing at the highest scale that we can get a permit for based on data collected in our pilot projects. Target carbon cost of removal with the most efficient feedstock of < $250/t USD.
This project will conduct a series of advanced electrochemistry testing of Planetary Technologies' novel salt-splitting electrochemical cell for the purposes of optimization and subsequent industrial design criteria generation.
This 8 month project will contain the planning and implementation of an alkalinity addition trial at NSPI. This includes completing an operations plan, sourcing alkalinity and equipment needed for dosing and monitoring, listening and educating the community, dosing and monitoring at the site and analyzing the data from the trial.
This 9 month project will see the design and developments of key components of the firm's Carbon Platform (OCP). The OCP will facilitate the end-to-end generation of carbon credits by combining real-time operational data, carbon intensity databases, and both local and global ocean models to generate carbon credits on demand. In effect, the OCP will implement the firm's Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) as an ongoing process across different project sites across the globe. The focus of this iteration is on the Ocean Carbon Calculator (OCC) that is a cloud based system capable of tra
During this 2 month project, the firm's team will advance the state of the Ocean Carbon Platform in order to help reduce the time it takes to submit verification reports to retire carbon removal credits while continuing to perform industry leading Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement at the Tufts Cove site.
As part of the Japan Corporate Co-Innovation Program, the project “Unlocking New Potential in Wastewater Treatment” will focus on completing a proof of concept that combines the firm's alkalinity extraction and ocean carbon removal technology with the foreign partner's wastewater engineering expertise and technology in order to demonstrate safe, community-engaged ocean-based carbon removal using municipal fly ash.
The project will involve designing, building and testing a prototype electrochemical cell in a simulated industrial environment. This cell will need to have the ability to be configured and operated in parallel in order to scale to industrial capacities. The result of this project will be an industrial design of a scalable electrochemical cell stack that can be used in a commercial scale facility producing low carbon intensive alkalinity for our carbon dioxide removal projects.
The firm will create a site layout and configuration for a monitoring system to be tested at the Tufts Cove power generation facility operated by Nova Scotia Power Incorporated (NSPI) during a pilot study of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE).
The goal is to research, develop and operate a new and innovative process focused on the production of hydrogen and the reduction of atmospheric CO2 via ocean alkalinity enhancement. The Planetary Hydrogen OAC (Ocean Air Capture) technology allows for simultaneous alkalinity and sulfuric acid production in the form of diluted solutions. It is envisaged that these reagents could be used for commonly applied hydrometallurgical operations such as leaching and precipitation, respectively. The project tests a low-cost, low-energy method for extraction of valuable metals from mine tailings for the
The project will oversee the testing of a low-cost, low-energy method for extraction of valuable metals from mine tailings for the purposes of industrial decarbonization, legacy mine site remediation and climate change mitigation.
The firm is hiring a Pilot Site Operator to ensure safe and efficient daily operations of our Dartmouth carbon dioxide removal project site. During this 27 week long engagement the Pilot Site Operator will bring a background of safety and marine biology to the operations team.
In order to perform carbon dioxide removal, Site Operators ensure the safe and efficient daily operations of our carbon dioxide removal project site. This project is focused on our Site Operator, a community college graduate that brings a background in marine biology and ocean technology, with a keen eye for safety to the firm.
In order to perform carbon dioxide removal, Site Operators ensure the safe and efficient daily operations of our carbon dioxide removal project site. This project is focused on our Site Operator, a community college graduate with experience in marine biology and field experience as an environmental consultant. He is interested in improving site efficiencies and management.
The firm began its first ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) trial at Nova Scotia Power Inc (NSPI) in September 2023. Beginning in October, the proprietary OAE process will begin to generate a net carbon dioxide removal, which accounts for the GHG created to acquire the alkalinity and run the project. This 12 weeks project will include research around confirming the life cycle analysis of the Halifax project to quantify our GHG impact, completing multiple weeks of OAE carbon removal and validating that the carbon was removed by analyzing the data from our MOdular DOsing and Monitoring (MODOM) s
The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.
The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.
