Canada Invests $4 Million in Ocean-Based Carbon Removal Research
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: A $4 million investment from Carbon to Sea Initiative and MEOPAR advances ocean-based carbon removal research in Canada, focusing on Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement technology that will help address climate challenges.
📈 One key stat: $4 million CAD is being co-invested to fund new scientific projects on Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement, significantly boosting Canada’s capacity to develop carbon dioxide removal solutions.
💬 One key quote: “Twenty-five years of foundational research shows that OAE has huge potential as a carbon removal solution — but there’s a lot we still need to understand to reduce uncertainties in quantification, build trust among the public, and build good governance for this fast-growing sector,” said Antonius Gagern, Executive Director of Carbon to Sea.
1️⃣ The big picture: The Carbon to Sea Initiative and Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR) have joined forces to accelerate ocean-based carbon dioxide removal research in Canada. Their $4 million CAD co-investment targets Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE), a promising method that boosts the ocean’s natural carbon absorption capabilities. Starting in Nova Scotia, this collaboration brings together scientific expertise, industry resources, and governmental support. The partnership represents a significant advancement in developing practical climate solutions through innovative research partnerships.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This investment creates a vital bridge between scientific research and practical climate solutions, establishing Canada as an emerging leader in ocean-based carbon removal technologies. Nova Scotia is developing into a dynamic hub for climate innovation, connecting scientists with research sites, partners, and community leaders. The partnership leverages MEOPAR’s scientific expertise with Carbon to Sea’s global network, maximizing research impact through public-private-philanthropic collaboration. By addressing critical questions about safety, efficacy, and scalability, this research brings us closer to implementing large-scale carbon removal technologies that could significantly mitigate climate change impacts.
3️⃣ What’s next: Research initiatives will begin in Nova Scotia, focusing on the scientific questions surrounding Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement technology. Scientists will investigate the safety, efficacy, and scalability potential of these carbon removal approaches. The partnership aims to develop governance frameworks while building public trust in these emerging technologies.
