Seawater Carbon Capture and Conversion | A Scalable Path to Negative Emissions
As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, seawater carbon capture and conversion (SWCCC) offers a promising, scalable solution. At Lanran Tech, we apply advanced bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPED) to transform the ocean’s natural carbon buffering capacity into an active carbon removal system.
How It Works:
1️⃣ Seawater intake & softening
2️⃣ Water splitting via bipolar membranes generates acid and base
3️⃣ The acid releases CO₂ from dissolved inorganic carbon (mainly bicarbonate ions)
4️⃣ The base neutralizes seawater, increasing its alkalinity
5️⃣ CO₂ is extracted and collected; the treated seawater is returned with enhanced capacity to absorb atmospheric CO₂
Technology Advantages:
✅ No added chemicals
✅ Utilizes mature membrane separation technologies
✅ Compatible with vacuum-assisted CO₂ extraction
✅ Enhances ocean alkalinity, supporting long-term CO₂ removal
✅ Integrates with renewable energy for low-carbon operation
By using the ocean not just as a passive carbon sink, but as a regenerative system, Lanran’s SWCCC approach helps industries, governments, and carbon projects move closer to net-zero targets.🌱
