Hello, kwe’, and bonjour,  As we move through the winter months, our team remains committed to pushing our ocean-based carbon removal work forward while maintaining the highest standards of monitoring, safety, and collaboration. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to at our Halifax Harbour pilot project in the past month.  Monitoring Through The […]

Breaking Ground, Making Waves: A Conversation with Cheryl Gehue on Indigenous Leadership, Reconciliation, and Sustainability In our latest Breaking Ground, Making Waves conversation, we had the opportunity to speak with Cheryl Gehue, a Mi’kmaq woman from the Sipekne’katik First Nation in Nova Scotia. Cheryl’s career is a testament to the power of leadership, advocacy, and […]

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 […]

Overview Planetary Technologies and independent researchers from Dalhousie University’s Department of Oceanography, together with other partners, are collaborating on investigating the efficacy of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) as a method to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean To help determine the dispersion rate of the alkaline minerals Planetary Technologies adds […]

Progress in Halifax We’re proud to share the success of our work in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Over the past year, our efforts resulted in the net removal of 138 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere, which is roughly the amount of carbon 5,750 mature trees can absorb in one year. (A mature tree can absorb, […]

At Planetary, we believe the best solutions emerge at the intersection of innovation, collaboration, and community. That’s why we were thrilled to sit down with Nova Scotia’s own Crystal Nicholas, an inspiring leader who champions economic development and environmental sustainability for Mi’kmaq communities.

Hello, kwe’, and bonjour, As we reflect on the past month of operations, we’re reminded of just how much can be accomplished when innovative science and technology, as well as collaborative teamwork and community, come together. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to at our Halifax Harbour pilot plant. The Ripple Effects of […]

Kwe’! Hello! Bonjour! We’re excited to share the latest updates from Planetary’s Halifax Harbour field trial, where our journey to combat climate change is making waves—literally! Since December 2nd, 2024 we have been running our Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) system 24/7-in Halifax Harbour. This marks a big step forward in our mission to continue developing […]

We are pleased to announce the beginning of the next phase of our field trial which includes a  transition to 24-hour dosing for our Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) system in Halifax Harbour. This move is aimed at our continued development of safe, effective, and scalable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies to address climate change. This […]

In the weeks leading up to the latest Field Trial in Halifax, a group of Dalhousie students were invited to participate and learn more about ocean alkalinity enhancement within the context of their 3rd year undergraduate field oceanography class. The class, taught by Laura deGelleke, was first introduced to the field trial work when Planetary’s […]
