Carbon, reefs, protein, plastic, methane, and membranes: projects that try to repair living systems or shrink their waste.

Ecology Pilot

Direct air capture — Climeworks

Fans and filters pull CO₂ from ambient air. The plants exist; the tonnes are still small.

Northern Lights — point-source CCS

CO₂ from factories, shipped and injected under the North Sea. The first industrial volumes moved in 2025.

Carbfix — turning CO₂ into stone

Dissolve CO₂ in water, inject it into basalt, and chemistry does in years what sediments take millennia to do.

Ecology Pilot

Precision fermentation

Microbes, not cows, make some of the proteins we eat — if the sugar, power, and taste hold up.

Ecology Pilot

Coral restoration technology

Nurseries, larval seeding, and reef frames can regrow coral on a bay. They cannot outrun a hot ocean alone.

Ecology Research

Nanomaterial membranes

Atom-thin sheets and tailored pores promise cheaper desalination and cleaner separations — mostly still in the lab.

Ecology Pilot

Plastic-eating enzymes — Carbios

An enzyme can unzip PET back to monomers. A full-scale plant is still a financing and engineering problem.

Methane-reducing cattle feed (Bovaer)

A spoon of 3-NOP in the ration can cut dairy methane by about thirty percent. It is a tool, not a vegan cow.
