Step inside Captura’s pilot plant in Kona, Hawaii

Captura's 1000 ton-per-year Direct Ocean Capture pilot plant has been operating in Kona, Hawaii since February 2025-and now you can explore it from anywhere in the world through a virtual 360° tour.

As you move through the site, you'll see all the major components that make up our system and learn how each one plays a role in pulling CO₂ out of the ocean and atmosphere.

Developed in partnership with Equinor, the Kona pilot is the critical final step in proving Captura's technology is ready to scale. It demonstrates our modular technology at the size and performance level that can be replicated for larger deployments. With those results in hand, we're now designing our first commercial facility, which is targeted to capture between 30,000 and 50,000 tons of CO₂ per year.
