Interested in integrating a determined and dynamic team?

Ready to bring your creativity and knowledge to design innovative deep tech systems at lightning speed while collaborating with transdisciplinary, international partners?

PRONOE is an ocean CO2 removal startup based in France. We restore the ocean’s natural capacity to permanently remove CO2 from the air in a sustainable, scalable, and asset-light manner. We develop and deploy automated water treatment systems that safely turn the liquid discharge of coastal industries into less acidic, more alkaline flows within current regulations. The result is high-quality CO2removal, valorization of otherwise wasted effluents, and local ocean acidification mitigation.
