The National Water Agency, a subsidiary of the Public Utilities Board of Singapore, along with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the American startup Equatic, announced on Feb. 28 a $20 million investment to construct the largest-ever offshore carbon removal facility in Tuas, Singapore. Expected to be operational in 2025, the facility aims to remove 10 tons of carbon dioxide daily. Additionally, the Singapore government is collaborating with energy giants to expand carbon capture and storage technology.
