Mitsubishi Electric and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have completed core development of a direct ocean capture system, moving the project closer to demonstration in coastal conditions.
The system is designed to remove carbon dioxide through seawater rather than through air or industrial exhaust streams. That makes it part of the growing marine carbon dioxide removal market, where developers are testing whether the ocean’s natural carbon sink role can be used in a controlled and measurable way.
