Monitoring CO2 removal in the context of mCDR
We are a proud partner of the Dalhousie University led project entitled: Feasibility study of the buoy system for measuring carbon dioxide removal and environmentally important water properties in the context of mCDR, supporting the effort through both instrumentation and technical support. On August 20, we had the pleasure of co-hosting The Deputy Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Nova Scotia and members of the Net Zero Atlantic Emerging Concepts and Technologies (NZA-ECT) team on a boat tour of Halifax Harbour in conjunction with Dalhousie University and project partner Planetary Technologies.
Collaboration in this space is important and research and development is a key aspect to improving our understanding of mCDR technologies. Having direct communciation with both the private industry and academic research allows us to not only learn and understand this rapidly expanding application, but it also provides us with opportunity to share these experiences with others hoping to make simialr strides in the overall reduction of CO2 in our atmopshere through the ocean.
The recent visit included viewing the site of the deployed buoy which includes one of our CO2-Pro CV sensors, an overview of the ongoing ECT project, and discussions regarding Nova Scotian companies being at the forefront of climate research. Just one week later, a second buoy was deployed at a nearby location for comparison data and was equiped with our CO2-Pro CV Atmoshere sensor, and a third buoy will soon be deployed with this same sensor along with a new prototpye that was developed for this type of monitoring.
