About this project
Vesta pioneers Coastal Carbon Capture (CCC), using olivine sand to accelerate natural carbon sequestration in ocean ecosystems. Their trials in New York and Massachusetts demonstrate the dual benefits of removing atmospheric CO₂ and combating ocean acidification. With the potential to capture over 1 gigaton of CO₂ annually at low costs, Vesta exemplifies scalable, nature-based solutions for climate action.
