About Equatic Equatic (previously known as Seachange) addresses one of mankind’s most pressing problems, climate change, by removing CO 2 from the atmosphere. Equatic’s founders developed an electrochemical process that traps CO 2 in the form of mineral solids (e.g., chalk powder: CaCO 3 ), and bicarbonate ions (HCO 3 – ) that are dissolved in seawater. This allows the oceans to re-absorb additional CO 2 from the atmosphere, thereby reducing its CO 2 content. Beyond CO 2 removal, the Equatic process also produces hydrogen, a clean fuel as a co-product. This enables two key pillars of the energy transition: carbon removal, and the production of zero-carbon fuels. Equatic sells carbon credits (“negative CO 2 emissions”) and hydrogen to governments, corporations, and some cases, even individuals. To achieve this, we are further developing our pioneering technology and design, construct and operate industrially relevant (size, scale, and affordable cost) CO 2 removal plants around the world. About the role The Director Technical Projects (DTP) will collaborate closely with Equatic’s leadership team, in particular the CEO, the Head of Technology and Head of Engineering, to develop the equipment and integrated plant designs for seawater mediated carbon removal. The DTP will lead the development and construction of the next generation plants, including translating strategy into technical specifications, and coordinating/steering external vendors. The DTP will also coordinate with the business team to ensure that processes and technology is being set up to measure and verify the abatement of CO2. Equatic has an opportunity to lead the industry in removing carbon from atmosphere, a unique process that is the most scalable and really make a difference in climate change. As the company’s first Director of Technical Projects, you will be contributing to the solution for this fundamental problem for humanity.
