Project NEPTUNE

Seawater-Based Atmospheric Carbon Capture Initiative

What is Project NEPTUNE?

Project NEPTUNE is an innovative approach to combat climate change by using Earth's oceans to capture and store atmospheric CO₂. This technology amplifies the ocean's natural carbon absorption process while producing valuable minerals and fresh water as beneficial by-products.

Why is this Important?

• Climate Impact: Capable of removing 5+ billion tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2050 (15% of current emissions)
• Economic Benefits: Creates 5-7 million high-skilled jobs globally
• Resource Generation: Produces critical minerals for green technology
• Water Security: Integrates with desalination for fresh water production
• Ocean Health: Helps combat ocean acidification

How Does it Work?

The system uses deep seawater's natural ability to absorb CO₂, enhanced through engineered processes:

1. Deep cold water is drawn from 200-300m depth
2. Water is exposed to atmospheric air in specialized spray chambers
3. CO₂ is absorbed and converted to stable carbonate minerals
4. Valuable minerals (lithium, magnesium, rare earth elements) are extracted
5. Treated water is returned to the ocean

Key Advantages

• Cost Effective: $17-25 per tonne of CO₂ captured
• Environmentally Sound: Uses natural processes, minimal environmental impact
• Multiple Benefits: Addresses climate change while producing valuable resources
• Scalable: Can be implemented globally at various scales
• Integration Ready: Works with existing industrial infrastructure
