Whales have been helping store Carbon in the deep ocean for almost 40 Million years!

But 4.5 million whales have been taken out of the ocean in the last century resulting in a net reduction in CO2 removed from the atmosphere

Our Xprize Carbon Removal Team Whalex is here to change that

In early 2022, WhaleX was shortlisted in the top 60 (among 1132 applicants) in phase 1 of Elon Musk’s $100M Carbon Removal XPrize. In 2023 WhaleX designed and deployed inshore bio-pods to assist with the Measurement, Verification and Reporting (MRV) of our ocean carbon removal process.

In 2024 XPRIZE announced the Top 100 most promising carbon removal innovators, after three years of the competition and several rounds of judging. Ocean Nourishment is proud to be included in this list.
