oPods: sustainable by design, delivering six UN Sustainable Development Goals
Built for climate. Designed for ocean.
oPods regenerate ocean health and remove carbon at scale — supporting global priorities like climate action (SDG 13), life below water (SDG 14), and resilient infrastructure (SDG 9).
Powered by waves, currents, and sunlight, they work with nature, not against it — helping frontline industries lead the shift to a more stable climate and thriving marine ecosystems.
Blue Carbon deploys renewable powered oPods
oPods can be customised for reef restoration, marine science, or marine industries.
oPods bring cold, nutrient-rich deep seawater to the surface
They replicate the ocean’s natural vertical circulation, in time repairing and restoring it.
Nutrients flow with ocean currents to create seaweed oGardens
Microscopic algae (phytoplankton) grow and multiply, capturing carbon. Macroalgae (seaweeds) create marine nurseries.
Algae absorb nutrients, CO₂, and sunlight, to increase their biomass
Phytoplankton are eaten; carbon is transferred up the food chain. Organisms die and fall as marine snow, sequestering carbon on the ocean floor.
Local ocean acidity drops, optimising ecosystem nutrient needs
As the volume of creatures in the sea increases, the carbon in seawater drops, reducing local acidity, which helps shell-making creatures like coral flourish.
oPods exchange real-time data, creating a bank of Ocean Intelligence
oPods carry an array of sensors, at custom depths (down to 500m), collecting, processing and then responding to real-time data.
SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation
Desalination & Water Quality: oPod™ supports clean water generation through improved intake conditions for desalination and natural filtration of seawater.
SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy
Renewable-Powered Tech: oPod™ is powered by wave, solar, and wind energy, eliminating the need for fossil-fueled pumps in marine applications.
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Ocean Tech Innovation: oPod™ is a world-first marine infrastructure platform for climate resilience, aquaculture, and environmental monitoring.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
Sustainable Aquaculture & Resource Use: By improving fish health and reducing chemical inputs (e.g., antibiotics), oPod™ enables more responsible food production from the ocean.
SDG 13 – Climate Action
Carbon Sequestration: oPod™ facilitates phytoplankton growth, boosting biological carbon uptake and helping mitigate climate change.
SDG 14 – Life Below Water
Marine Ecosystem Restoration: oPod™ restores oxygen levels, reduces thermal stress on coral reefs, and supports biodiversity through healthier marine environments.
