Ocean rise is accelerating. And the reason goes deeper than CO₂.
For decades, the climate debate focused on greenhouse gases. But satellite and tide gauge data from the last 50 years show something more alarming: a steady and accelerating ocean rise that closely follows humanity’s total energy use — not just carbon emissions.
We burn fuel. We build cities that trap heat. We consume energy in every form —
this heat is the very force melting glaciers and raising the oceans.
Our research quantifies this effect. We calculated the total thermal energy released by human activity — from fuel combustion, food production, and urban development — and converted it into the amount of ice it could melt. The result closely matches the observed sea level rise.
This is not theory. It’s thermodynamics.
Heat itself is driving ocean rise.
And unless we stop emitting waste heat into the environment, the oceans will continue to swell — no matter how “clean” our energy sources seem.
A New Direction
project responds to this challenge.
Instead of adding heat, it removes it — by capturing atmospheric CO₂ and turning it into synthetic fuels using solar energy. These fuels store energy without warming the planet.
Join Us
We are assembling a team of architects, engineers, investors, and city leaders to build the world’s first urban fuel system with a negative thermal footprint.
This project begins in Kharkiv,
but it’s not just for coastal cities —
it speaks to the whole world.
Because this crisis can only be solved together.
It is an answer to 50 years of observation — and 1 unfolding disaster.
