Taking Carbon Out Of … Seawater!

Amsterdam-based startup Brineworks is using innovative seawater electrolysis technology to tackle the issue of carbon emissions and reshape the landscape of carbon capture and sustainable fuel production. 

In A Nutshell – Leveraging The Potential of Seawater 

Brineworks has developed a seawater electrolysis technology that extracts carbon dioxide (CO₂) and produces green hydrogen (H₂) directly from seawater. The company’s new approach is different because it leverages the ocean’s higher CO₂ concentration (about 150 times that of the atmosphere), thereby making the process more energy-efficient and cost-effective than traditional air capture methods, all while simultaneously generating green hydrogen as a valuable fuel byproduct.
