SINGAPORE - The largest facility in the world that can help to remove planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ocean, located in Singapore in Tuas, is expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2026. It uses technology to change the chemistry of seawater and remove dissolved CO2 so that the water can absorb more CO2 when released back into the ocean, The Straits Times had earlier reported. The seawater is discharged back into the ocean only after it is processed to preserve the ocean’s chemistry. Efforts that manipulate natural processes to tackle climate change are known as geoengineering. Tuas’ Equatic-1 demonstration plant is a collaboration between Singapore’s national water agency PUB and American start-up Equatic, which developed the technology.   https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/environment/what-tech-will-spore-geoengineering-facility-set-to-be-worlds-largest-use-for-ocean-co2-removal (ICE SINGAPORE)
