Planetary’s award-winning approach to ocean alkalinity enhancement works with nature to remove carbon, protect marine ecosystems, and benefit coastal communities. Recently recognized with an XPRIZE Carbon Removal award, Planetary leverages existing infrastructure — like power plants and wastewater treatment facilities — to simplify deployment and minimize environmental impact. The approach relies on established science and operates with a compact footprint.
In this Q&A, Diana Philip, Vice President Community Relations at Planetary discusses how they’re scaling ocean-based carbon removal through robust monitoring, partnerships with Indigenous groups, ecosystem stewardship, and close collaboration with communities near their project sites.
