Olivine sand placed in coastal waters accelerates the Earth’s natural long-term carbon capture process. Vesta is advancing the science of this process to help reverse climate change - a technique we call Coastal Carbon Capture. With olivine sand in coastal waters, we can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, de-acidify the ocean, and protect against rising sea levels. Once validated, Coastal Carbon has the potential to be the most economical and scalable irreversible method of CDR.
