Building the removal

I build ocean carbon removal at Gigablue.

Controlled carbon export at planetary scale. Permitted. Measured. Certified.

The ocean has always been the planet's largest carbon sink, pulling carbon from the surface and locking it into seafloor sediment on geological timescales. Gigablue is building a methodology to help restore that balance as emissions disrupt it.

How a pod works

Float, capture, then sink below the thermocline.

surface thermocline deep ocean capture sinks on its own 100s to 1000s of yrs

Carbon-Carrier Pods are built from non-toxic, biodegradable materials. They float so photosynthetic capture can happen, then sink autonomously, carrying that carbon below the thermocline where reduced mixing with surface water keeps it down.

Mechanism and durability as Gigablue describes them, from gigablue.co and gigablue.co/about, fetched 21 September 2026.

The gap they are aiming at

The ocean sinks about 2 Gt a year. Paris needs 7 to 9.

2 Gt/yr current 7–9 required Roughly a fourfold gap, on Gigablue's own numbers

Both figures as stated on gigablue.co and gigablue.co/about.

Permitted
field trials across the Mediterranean and South Pacific
Overseen
independently by Earth Sciences New Zealand and the Cawthron Institute

As stated on gigablue.co and gigablue.co/about. These are Gigablue's claims about its own programme.
