Direct Ocean Carbon Capture.

CO₂ levels continue to rise as we produce more CO₂ than can be removed by the planet’s natural carbon cycle, warming the atmosphere and oceans. In addition to higher temperatures, oceans absorb excess CO₂, shifting the pH balance of the oceans toward higher acidity. More acidic waters decrease the survivability of multiple marine species critical to ocean food webs, and increase the risk of cascading biological collapse.

Who Are We?

Our mission is to become the global leader in Direct Ocean Carbon Capture (DOCC). C-Quest Pacific leverages proven technologies with innovative process trains to achieve gigaton-scale carbon removal by 2035. We partner with marine transportation and strategic seaports, supplying liquid carbon dioxide to a global Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS) value chain. Logistics incumbents like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Maersk Line are already demonstrating capacity to handle and transport liquid CO₂.

  • Data Driven – Detailed analysis of project inputs create client-tailored packages.

  • Results Focused – Over 60 years of development experience building large-scale water, wastewater and renewable energy infrastructure.

  • Environmentally Conscious – We are passionate about leaving a better world to our children and grandchildren.

Addressable Market

Energy incumbents project a ~$2 trillion addressable carbon capture market by 2040 growing at 35% per year. Current expectations are that only 15-25% of demand will be met by technology-based carbon removal solutions. Direct Ocean Carbon Capture is a scalable, cost-effective method to significantly increase carbon capture markets with a verifiable solution.

Proven Execution

C-Quest was formed for the sole purpose of developing and deploying DOCC infrastructure projects.  C-Quest was founded by long time business partners with extensive experience in water, wastewater, seawater desalination and renewable energy. The Company’s principals are experts in water resource management, ocean science and the development of large infrastructure projects related to the water space.

We dream of a world where the Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage value chain is the foundation for a decarbonized economy. C-Quest Pacific is building the first links. Our liquid CO₂ will travel the world, supplying the downstream producers creating regenerative plastics, concretes and fuels for a sustainable future.
