- Blue carbon
- Underwater CO₂ concentration measurement
Development of a measuring device that makes it possible to visualize the amount of CO₂ in seaweed beds "Underwater CO₂ measurement and evaluation service" revolutionizes evaluation of blue carbon

Murata's underwater CO₂ concentration measuring device enables easy and highly accurate measurement of CO₂ in the ocean. Continuous measurement of underwater CO₂ concentration has traditionally been considered difficult, so, by making it more accessible, this device holds the potential to greatly change methods for evaluating blue carbon. We are seeking partners for collaboration, including businesses, organizations, and others facing challenges in evaluating blue carbon, as well as companies and others interested in carbon credit trading.
