First company to receive US federal permit for open-ocean carbon removal (2026 regulatory milestone). VC-backed with affiliated nonprofit research arm. Olivine-based ocean alkalinity enhancement.
Vesta is an ocean carbon removal company developing Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) using olivine — a common volcanic mineral that naturally weathers to increase ocean alkalinity, causing the ocean to absorb more atmospheric CO2 as part of its natural carbon chemistry. In 2026, Vesta received the first US federal permit for open-ocean carbon removal — a landmark regulatory milestone that opens the path for the entire ocean alkalinity enhancement sector. Vesta is backed by venture capital with an affiliated nonprofit research arm that publishes monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) methodologies.
