Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal

Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal (Ocean CDR) involves techniques that increase the ocean’s capacity to absorb and store excess atmospheric CO2, helping mitigate climate change. Methods include enhancing natural processes like promoting algae growth, which absorbs CO2 during photosynthesis, or directly removing CO2 from seawater through chemical or physical methods. These approaches aim to boost the ocean’s ability to act as a carbon sink, reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While promising, they require careful consideration of environmental impacts and effectiveness to ensure sustainable implementation.
