OCIENCE IS ON A JOURNEY TO SAVE THE OCEANS.
Restoring nature, both in the oceans and on land can help capture >50Gt of CO2 annually and significantly increase biodiversity globally
WHAT ARE WE SOLVING
We need to catalyze the regenerative power of nature
Humanity has destroyed natural environments. Only through extensive restoration programs and systemic reduction of emissions and consumption, we can maintain the Earth habitable.
Our Earth is heating up by 13 Hiroshimas per second due to lack of albedo, as the glaciers are melting and clouds have disappeared.
Our oceans are acidifying due to CO2 absorbing into water.
Our oceans have lost 50-90% of biodiversity and life due to pollution, over-fishing and starvation
OUR SOLUTION
Nature-based Carbon Removal
Nature restoration and conservation are the most efficient means to maximize carbon capture and positive development of biodiversity.
Natural carbon capture is today approximately 300 Gt per annum where planktons play a critical role. Planktons are:
- Producing approximately 50% of the oxygen we breathe and provide food for the marine ecosystems,
- Generating aerosols that act as nucleating agents in cloud formation. This helps to cool down the oceans through shadows and rain.
Our solution, according to Sir David King of the Royal Society, can strengthen the natural capability of phytoplankton to photosynthesize and turn carbon dioxide into new life in the oceans by impacting positively the beginning of the food chain. Through our methodology, Ocience will catalyze chlorophyll with nature-based means and help plankton to bloom.
When plankton blooms, the carbon dioxide turns into polysaccharides and proteins and attracts other species, such as fish and whales and even birds to a feast. Plankton emits aerosols such as oxygen, but also SO2 and DMS that act as cloud nucleation agents. The growth of biomass stores CO2 not only during the life of the flora and fauna, but also after their death as they disintegrate and form marine snow, gradually falling to the ocean sediment. They are either eaten by crustaceans or accumulating and forming a long-term storage of biomass. The aerosols in turn form white clouds, increasing Earth’s albedo, reflecting heat, providing a shadow and cooling rain on the ocean and on land.
