Boeing, the U.S. aerospace giant, is ramping up its decarbonization efforts. On Sept. 3, the company announced a partnership with carbon removal startup Equatic and the Sarawak state government in Malaysia to pilot ocean-based carbon removal technology.
At the same time, it signed a collaboration with i-CATS University College to train talent in sustainable aviation technologies.
Ocean carbon removal pilot in Sarawak
Malaysia has long been a key base for Boeing in the Asia-Pacific, producing commercial aircraft components. Now, Sarawak will also serve as a testbed for new carbon removal solutions. Under Sarawak’s clean energy plan, Boeing will deploy Equatic’s ocean carbon removal technology, designed to boost the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide while generating green hydrogen. The pilot facility is scheduled to begin operations in 2026.
