Cooling coral reefs, securing coastal futures

Blue Carbon's oPods: gentle coral protection without infrastructure

As coral bleaching intensifies, reef-reliant economies face growing risk. Blue Carbon’s oPod™ offers a low-impact, energy-independent solution — cooling reefs with deeper ocean water to help them survive and regenerate naturally.

Non-invasive, reef-safe design

oPods require no permanent infrastructure — they’re secured with removable moorings and need no seabed construction. Deployed near, not on, coral structures, they protect sensitive ecosystems and can be repositioned seasonally or in response to bleaching events.

Powered by nature, engineered for longevity

oPods run entirely on waves, wind, and current — with no external power, fuel, or emissions. With minimal maintenance, each unit is built for up to 20 years of ocean life. They operate autonomously and can be fitted with smart sensors for real-time environmental insight.

Scalable reef intelligence

Beyond local cooling, oPods act as a platform for live reef data. Deployed in networks, they provide clear insight into temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and currents— enabling fast, informed decisions across coastal regions.
