Carbon Lock Solutions

We aim to unlock the capacity of oceans to make carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efficient, durable and scalable, using innovative tech that tweaks conditions favourable for CO2 drawdown and lockdown. As atmospheric CO2 pass levels 1.5X higher than the pre-industrial mean and global warming is expected to pass the Paris Agreement target of +1.5 oC in just 5 years, the need for accelerating CDR is never more pressing. Our oceans are the biggest buffer to excess warming absorbing over 30% of CO2 emssions and over 90% of excess heat. But its reaching saturation and dissolved CO2 is increasing ocean acidity. Heat and acidification is now threatening marine ecosystems as the smallest, carbonate organisms, struggle against dissolution of their protective "shells". The IPCC indicate CDR at 8-10 Gigatonnes (Gt) per annum will be required in all pathways to net zero by 2050. While aforestation accounts for 2 Gt/yr, upto 60% of the remaining gap is expected to be filled by novel solutions. The Carbon Lock Project aims to develop innovative CDR technoligies that removes atmospheric carbon dioxide, restores ocean alkalinity, and revalues natural and engineered solutions where synergies can bring value and efficiencies to climate resortation.
