What if the world's 60,000 merchant ships could restore the ocean instead of polluting it? Jennifer Bonilla, PhD, and Captain Hugo Hinrichsen have a plan to make it happen.
Their startup Positive Polar is replicating one of nature's most powerful carbon capture systems: whale poop. When whales release nutrient-rich waste at the ocean surface, it triggers massive phytoplankton blooms that pull CO2 from the atmosphere. Positive Polar is developing a synthetic version of that process, designed to deploy from the ships already crossing our seas every day.
One ship sailing 240 days could remove roughly 2,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. Scaled across the global fleet, the potential reaches 2 gigatons annually. The science is published. The proof-of-concept testing starts now.
In this Founders Series conversation, Jennifer and Hugo walk through the research, the phases ahead, and why the cruise industry could shift from a symbol of pollution to a force for ocean health.
