Puro is thrilled to announce two significant public consultations that will shape the future of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) methodologies. As we continue to lead the charge in innovative climate solutions, we invite stakeholders to contribute their expertise and insights to these groundbreaking initiatives. 

These two approaches, Ocean Storage of Biomass (OSB) and Direct Air Capture and Ocean Storage (DACOS) offer differing pathways into durable carbon storage: chemical approach (DACOS) and a physical approach (OSB). Oceans offer vast opportunities for durable carbon removals. By focusing on multiple mCDR pathways, Puro aims to facilitate the development of new techniques and pathways for a variety of CO2 removal projects. The two approaches were selected to represent the first Puro-certified mCDR methodologies due to Puro.earth’s focus on safe, durable and efficient carbon removal. 

OSB Methodology Consultation 

We are seeking input on our Ocean Storage of Biomass (OSB) methodology. This innovative approach focuses on depositing terrestrial biomass into oxygen-depleted (anoxic) marine basins, offering a scalable solution to combat rising CO2 levels. 

To participate in the OSB consultation (January 15th to February 5th), please download the consultation documents and submit your feedback to contact@puro.earth using the provided form.

DACOS Methodology Consultation 

Puro has opened a consultation for our Direct Air Capture and Ocean Storage (DACOS) methodology. This cutting-edge approach combines the power of direct air capture technology, utilizing electrolysis in a reactor, to exploit the vast potential of ocean to store carbon. Your feedback will be crucial in refining and optimizing this methodology. 

The DACOS consultation will be open 29 January – 21 February 2025.

Shaping the Future of Marine CDR 

These public consultations represent a significant step forward in Puro's commitment to developing robust, scientifically sound methodologies for marine carbon dioxide removal. By engaging with experts, researchers, and stakeholders, we aim to ensure our approaches are not only effective but also align with the highest standards of environmental stewardship. 

Puro at Ocean Visions Summit 2025 

Building on our momentum in the ocean CDR space, Puro is excited to announce our participation in the upcoming Ocean Visions Summit 2025. This important industry event will take place from March 25-27, 2025, in Vancouver, British Columbia. 

The Summit promises to be an exceptional opportunity for knowledge sharing and solution-building at the critical ocean-climate nexus. As a leader in marine CDR methodologies, Puro will be at the forefront of discussions, sharing our innovative approaches and collaborating with global experts to advance ocean-based climate solutions. 

We’d love to connect with you there to discuss ways to work together and exchange ideas.

As we launch these public consultations and prepare for the Ocean Visions Summit, Puro is making significant strides in the marine CDR field. We are committed to driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and developing methodologies that will play a crucial role in addressing climate change. 

Stay tuned for updates on our consultations and our participation in the Ocean Visions Summit 2025. Together, we're charting a course towards a more sustainable future for our oceans and our planet.
