We are happy to announce that we have secured sufficient funding to complete the first testing and verification phase. With support from Innovation Norway and the Norwegian Research council we are now testing and verifying our new lab technology and methodology to better measure carbon uptake in phytoplankton. Results form this project will lay the foundation for phase two, where we develop the verification system to quantify carbon uptake by marine snow and potentially other Ocean fertilization approaches. We are completing this project together with NORCE Norway and Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (IZOR) in Split, Croatia.
