Ocean Nourishment Corporation Pty Ltd. is an Australian private biotechnology company that has pioneered ocean carbon removal via phytoplankton.
Our process aims to boost phytoplankton growth by balancing limiting nutrients such as Nitrogen, Iron and Phosphorus levels in the surface ocean. This helps to initiate biological cycles that lead to CO2 removal from the atmosphere over multiple cycles and via a range of export routes.
ONC in conjunction with its foundation partner WhaleX are working on inshore carbon capture and storage via enclosed biopods. This helps in refining the Measurement Reporting and Verification (MRV) protocols as we scale the technology. ONC is seeking leveraged strategic partners to assist with the commercialisation and the scientific and technological challenges that this work entails.
