What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Commercial-scale claim rests on a not-yet-operating demonstrator; durability (10,000-yr storage) and MRV credibility are unproven in open-ocean conditions, so the under-$100/tonne and capacity figures are forward claims, not measured outcomes.
Next
Monitor Equatic-1 Singapore demo (1→10 t CO2/day, Q1 2026 operation) for verified MRV data and real energy/cost numbers before treating the 109,500 t/yr Quebec plant claim as substantiated.
