Ocean Based Carbon Dioxide Removal

Ocean Visions Ocean Based Carbon Dioxide Removal There has been a great deal of debate about the potential contributions of marine carbon removal techniques to help blunt the ocean climate crisis, but the reality is these discussions are occurring in an environment of very limited field data. A new wri report synthesizes the latest science and research on ocean based carbon removal and examines what’s needed to ensure that decisions around its development and deployment are responsible.

Ocean Based Carbon Dioxide Removal Ocean Visions Ocean co 2 removal offers opportunities for a range of stakeholders. while significant development is needed, these unique climate technologies could be game changing at scale—here’s how. Recent developments focus on maturing promising carbon dioxide removal (cdr) technologies that remove and permanently store co 2. this article specifically examines a subset of cdr technologies referred to as ocean based negative emission technologies (onets). What is ocean carbon dioxide removal? 1) approaches include conservation or restoration measures to increase natural stores within blue carbon ecosystems—for example, by restoring coastal wetlands—as well as technological approaches that increase the ocean’s carbon storage capacity. We present the current state of knowledge regarding the potentials, risks, side effects as well as challenges associated with technical feasibility, governance, monitoring, reporting and accounting of marine cdr, covering a range of biotic and geochemical approaches.

We present the current state of knowledge regarding the potentials, risks, side effects as well as challenges associated with technical feasibility, governance, monitoring, reporting and accounting of marine cdr, covering a range of biotic and geochemical approaches. To address this gap in understanding and the need for further exploration into cdr options that could feasibly contribute to a larger climate mitigation strategy, the national academies convened the committee on a research strategy for ocean based carbon dioxide removal and sequestration. Marine carbon dioxide removal (mcdr) aims to enhance this capacity by leveraging geochemical and biological processes to draw additional co₂ from the atmosphere and store it in ocean systems for up to thousands of years. Most experts believe that effectuating the massive scale of carbon removal contemplated in recent models will require a portfolio of both terrestrial and marine carbon removal options. one of the most often discussed, and researched, marine based approaches is ocean iron fertilization (oif). These includes the conservation of carbon rich coastal ecosystems, direct engagement with ocean related industries (e.g., shipping), and exploration of ocean based carbon dioxide removal opportunities.
