Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement: An Assessment of the Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) Approach
Aly Rose, CREO Syndicate
As one of the world's greatest natural carbon sinks, the ocean regulates Earth's climate. It contains an estimated 39,000 billion tons of carbon (Gt C), around ten times greater than the terrestrial carbon inventory and 50 times that of the atmosphere. Since the Industrial Revolution, the ocean has protected us from the most adverse effects of climate change by absorbing up to ~30 percent of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, totaling over 560 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
