UCLA and Equatic to Build World’s Largest Ocean-Based Carbon Removal Plant in Singapore

UCLA and Equatic are collaborating to build the world’s largest ocean-based carbon removal plant in Singapore, with the aim of removing 3,650 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually and producing 105 metric tons of carbon-negative hydrogen. The $20 million project is made possible through the support of Singapore’s national water agency PUB, the National Research Foundation (NRF), Singapore, and UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management (ICM). The groundbreaking technology not only facilitates the removal and durable storage of greenhouse gases but also produces nearly 300 kilograms of carbon-negative hydrogen daily.
