“We are harnessing the basic building blocks of life on Earth—water and sunlight—to create a financially sustainable carbon removal solution,” said Ori Shaashua, Gigablue’s co-founder and CCO.

“The solution we have developed was designed to be the ideal combination of affordability and scalability,” says Ori Shaashua, Gigablue Co-Founder & CCO.

Under the new agreement, over four years Gigablue will sequester 200,000 tonnes of CO2 - the largest deal of its kind.

Gigablue signs a 200,000 ton carbon removal agreement with sustainable aviation investor SkiesFifty.

New York-based Gigablue uses biogeochemistry to trap carbon in a substrate with phytoplankton, which sinks deep to the ocean floor.
