New tech will trap CO2 from cargo ships and store it in the ocean

Posidonia Shark Tank winner, Calcarea featured in a CNN article!

“Calcarea wants to mimic this natural process by funneling the ship’s exhaust fumes to a reactor in the ship’s hull, where the fumes are vigorously mixed with seawater and limestone — a type of rock mostly made of calcium carbonate, and a common ingredient in concrete. The CO2 in the exhaust fumes reacts with the mixture, creating salty water that locks the CO2 away in the form of bicarbonate salts. Adkins says that with a full-scale reactor, he aims to capture and store about half of a ship’s CO2 emissions.” – CNN
