A Major Milestone: 1,000 Tonnes of Carbon Removed – With More To Come

Dartmouth, Nova Scotia — Planetary has successfully removed 1,000 net tonnes of CO2 directly from the atmosphere through its ocean alkalinity enhancement process, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to advance carbon removal solutions. This achievement underscores the organization’s commitment to rigorous scientific validation and responsible scaling. 

Independent Verification and Data Transparency

Verification remains a central focus of Planetary’s approach to carbon removal. Our dataset will be submitted to Isometric’s verifiers, who will determine how these removals are transformed into high quality carbon credits on the ICROA-certified Isometric registry. This process ensures adherence to the highest standards of scientific accountability and transparency, in keeping with Planetary’s Code of Conduct.

This milestone highlights the organization’s ability to execute scalable carbon removals in alignment with leading scientific and regulatory standards. 

Scaling Carbon Removal to Meet Global Needs

The need for high-quality, durable carbon removal continues to grow. Planetary’s work demonstrates that ocean alkalinity enhancement is a viable pathway for achieving measurable climate impact. As the organization advances toward larger-scale deployments, continued collaboration with communities and scientific institutions, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders will be key to ensuring responsible growth. 

Planetary welcomes engagement from investors, buyers, communities, partners, and climate leaders to further accelerate the path toward gigatonne-scale removals.
