Ocean O₂ from CO₂
Our mission is to accelerate carbon removal and oxygen restoration of the ocean and air at gigatonne levels
Activating blue carbon + oxygen planetary life-supporting hybrid climate solutions.
COROA is a collective seeking to deploy and accelerate climate solutions that fundamentally address the greenhouse gas (GHG) problem at gigatonne scale, and oxygen loss in our oceans and atmosphere.
We study the oxygen-climate change problem to help us prepare for the future, while investing in solutions today to replenish our O₂ and draw down our CO₂.
We channel capital to understand more deeply the connection between global oxygen and climate change and to catalyze investment in a variety of scalable methods that convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into oxygen (O₂).
Revitalize ocean ecosystems
Mangroves, seagrasses, algae and wetlands are planetary workhorses. The unsung heroes of carbon sequestration, they are also potent photosynthesizers. Blue carbon is a core nature-based solution drawing down carbon and revitalizing oceanic oxygen.
Boost marine fungi
Marine fungi are a vital element in the carbon/oxygen cycle in the open ocean and other marine habitats including mangrove, sea grass, kelp and coral reefs. With <10% of species identified, they are under-studied and under-appreciated. Some marine fungi species thrive at anoxic/oxic interfaces and could be an accelerant in oxygen re-supply in these boundary regions through their relationships with phytoplankton.
Replenish oxygen by recycling carbon dioxide
Burying CO₂ in the ground accelerates silicate weathering which draws down O₂ long term. We need to focus on recycling CO₂ into O₂ through novel, scalable means. These methods have gigatonne CO₂ drawdown potential, while replenishing O₂.
