Pro-Oceanus Systems is contributing instrumentation and technical support to the Dalhousie University-led project, Feasibility study of the buoy system for measuring carbon dioxide removal and environmentally important water properties in the context of mCDR.
The company recently co-hosted the Deputy Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Nova Scotia, along with members of the Net Zero Atlantic Emerging Concepts and Technologies (NZA-ECT) team, on a boat tour of Halifax Harbour. The event was held in conjunction with Dalhousie University and project partner Planetary Technologies.
The visit included viewing the deployed buoy site, which features a CO2-Pro CV sensor, an overview of the ongoing ECT project, and discussions on how Nova Scotian companies are contributing to climate research.
A second buoy was later deployed nearby to collect comparison data and was equipped with a CO2-Pro CV Atmosphere sensor. A third buoy is planned for deployment with the same sensor, along with a newly developed prototype designed for this type of monitoring.
Pro-Oceanus Systems notes that collaboration in this field is essential, with research and development playing a key role in advancing the collective understanding of mCDR technologies.
Direct communication between private industry and academic researchers enables the company not only to strengthen knowledge of this rapidly expanding application but also to share experiences with others working toward reducing atmospheric CO2 through ocean-based methods.
