Iron for impact
Ocean iron fertilization is one of the most scalable, impactful, and cost-efficient solutions to address climate change & biodiversity loss.
Direct benefits
- Climate change mitigation through creation of massive CO2 removal in atmosphere and oceans
- Biodiversity regeneration in the oceans
- Albedo restoration through generation of biogenic cloud forming marine aerosols
Indirect benefits
- Surface water cooling due to clouds, rain and daily plankton vertical migration
- AMOC tipping risk reduced within the next decades
- Nutrition improvement through returning fish to the oceans
Europe’s opportunity to lead global climate repair
Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) presents an opportunity for large-scale climate solutions. To meet the EU’s climate neutrality goals by 2050, it requires scalable carbon removal along with emissions reduction.
OIF is one of the most scalable, impactful, and cost-efficient solutions to address climate change and biodiversity loss at the same time – on a global level.
OIF offers a scalable method for carbon removal, but its adoption by European governments will require collaboration between the scientific community, funding, policy-markers and NGOs.
oceanry can help with that.
For Businesses
Scalable carbon removal at a competitive cost
Most companies now recognize that cutting emissions is essential. However, this is no longer enough. Even if all emissions stopped today, over 2 teratons of excess CO₂ will still remain in the atmosphere. This is where beyond value chain mitigation becomes not just responsible, but necessary.
Oceanry is a non-profit initiative advancing one of the most promising carbon removal pathways: Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF). By supporting Oceanry, companies invest in urgent, independent research to understand and govern OIF safely. This includes studying its potential to:
- Remove large-scale legacy CO₂ from the atmosphere
- Support marine biodiversity
- Stimulate natural cloud formation and planetary cooling
OIF mimics processes already occurring in nature. Similar to Saharan dust storms or volcanic eruptions, but with precision, regulation and science.
Join us in building the science, standards and safeguards for ocean-based climate repair.
