About Captura
Captura is a climate technology company pioneering ocean-based carbon removal. Spun out of Caltech, Captura has developed an innovative and scalable process that harnesses the natural carbon removal power of the ocean without harming marine ecosystems. Using renewable energy and advanced electrochemical methods, Captura removes CO₂ from seawater, enabling the ocean to absorb more CO₂ from the atmosphere. With a mission to accelerate global carbon removal at climate-relevant scales, Captura partners with governments, industries, and coastal communities to help restore balance to our climate.
Feautured Speaker
Dr. Sophie Chu, Principal Oceanographer & Director of Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)
Dr. Sophie Chu is a leading expert in ocean science and marine carbon removal, with over a decade of experience studying how carbon moves through the ocean and developing tools to measure it. Before joining Captura, she was a Research Scientist at the University of Washington and NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. She holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Chemical Oceanography from the MIT–Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. At Captura, Sophie leads the development and implementation of the company’s MRV program to ensure its carbon removal technology is measurable and contributes to a healthy, resilient ocean. Sophie is dedicated to fostering a more inclusive scientific community and advancing climate solutions that protect people, wildlife, and the ecosystems we all depend on.
