The world often talks about carbon removal and decarbonization as if they’re two separate paths. But in practice, they work best when they work together.

At Planetary, we know that good carbon removal depends on effective decarbonization. Every choice in our operations, from shipping routes to construction materials, shapes the impact we’re able to have.

We wrote a short blog to explore how these two climate strategies support each other, and why this relationship matters more than ever.

Today we celebrate a Win For All moment.

We’re honoured to share that Planetary has been named one of only two XFACTOR winners in the $100M XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition.

This $1M award recognizes our work to restore the ocean’s natural ability to absorb carbon dioxide through seawater restoration, an approach to carbon removal that supports marine life, improves water quality, and integrates with existing infrastructure.

But this moment isn’t just about us. This moment is about what becomes possible when climate solutions are grounded in partnership, trust, and teamwork. We share this milestone with the coastal communities, regulators, industry partners, and researchers who’ve helped shape every step of our journey.

A healthier ocean means a healthier planet, and we’re just getting started.

Urban trails aren’t just paths, they’re powerful community connectors.

In our most recent episode of Breaking Ground, Making Waves, our VP of Community Engagement Diana Philip sat down with Kindra McDonald Greene and Morgan Willett of the The Elizabeth River Trail Foundation, two passionate community leaders reimagining what an urban green space can be.

From glow-in-the-dark trail sections to community-driven programming and climate resilience, their work goes far beyond recreation. It's about creating access, equity, and environmental stewardship in the heart of Norfolk, VA.
