Ocean Alkali Enhancement

About OAE

Ocean Alkali Enhancement (OAE) is an innovative nature-based and technological solution designed to reduce ocean acidity, enhance carbon capture, and promote marine ecosystem resilience. By increasing the alkalinity of seawater, this approach amplifies the ocean’s natural ability to absorb and store atmospheric CO₂, providing a scalable solution for mitigating climate change.

At Credynova, we offer end-to-end solutions for implementing OAE projects, integrating advanced methodologies, rigorous standards, and market access to unlock carbon credit opportunities. Our approach ensures compliance with global frameworks, maximizing environmental, social, and economic impact.

Comprehensive OAE Services

Tailored Alkalinity Solutions: Design and deploy OAE systems using mineral-based alkalinity agents such as olivine or limestone to enhance carbon uptake in marine environments.
Marine Ecosystem Integration: Focus on minimal disruption to marine ecosystems while boosting carbon storage capacity.
Global Standards Compliance: Align projects with frameworks like the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, ISO 14064, and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Ocean Chemistry Monitoring: Measure changes in ocean alkalinity, pH levels, and carbon uptake using advanced remote sensing, ocean buoys, and in-situ measurements.
Carbon Sequestration Accounting: Follow IPCC Guidelines and ISO 14064-3 standards for robust GHG accounting and validation.
Third-Party Verification: Work with accredited validators to certify captured carbon and ensure compliance with carbon market requirements.

Environmental Impact Assessment: Conduct LCAs using ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards to evaluate the sustainability and long-term benefits of OAE projects.
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Perform TEA to assess project scalability, economic feasibility, and return on investment.
Carbon Footprint Measurement: Utilize ISO 14067 to calculate and report the carbon footprint of alkalinity solutions.

Carbon Credit Generation: Facilitate the issuance of high-quality credits by quantifying the CO₂ removed through OAE projects.
Market Integration: Enable participation in global carbon markets like VERRA, Gold Standard, Climate Action Reserve (CAR), and emerging blue carbon platforms.
NDC Alignment: Ensure projects contribute to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
