The first open-water trial of ocean alkalinity enhancement is underway! 🌊

WHOI's LOC-NESS project is testing how adding alkalinity to seawater can lock away CO₂ — while also fighting ocean acidification.

Ocean-based CDR avoids the land-use conflicts we just saw in the Nature Climate Change study. Rigorous field science before commercial scale = the right approach.

‼️Check out our new paper led by Phil Boyd on « The need to explore the potential of marine CDR – A guide for policy makers » with Minhan Dai, Louis Legendre, Terre Satterfield and Romany Webb. Thanks are due to Peter Thomson for his suggestion to produce this policy brief. Hopefully, it will be useful for discussion at the #OneOceanScience congress and #UNOC3 in Nice, France, June 2025.

We ran pulsed alkalinity simulations in 690 different locations and 4 different seasons for a total of 2760 runs.

We found strong seasonality in subtropical and polar regions. Subpolar regions equilibrate the fastest and most complete. Equatorial regions are the slowest but eventually reach near-complete equilibration after 15 years. 1/

Some great questions and answers on marine carbon dioxide removal (#mCDR) during this House Science, Space, and Technology Committee hearing, "Navigating the Blue Frontier: Evaluating the Potential of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Approaches".

We spent 4 years working on this paper about the scientific, legal, economic, and governance considerations of whether coastal and marine carbon dioxide removal (#mCDR) can help close the emissions gap. Please take a look and tell me if it was worth it.
