New US bill H.7656 just dropped: supporting marine carbon dioxide removal activities. Referred to the Science, Space & Technology Committee.

Ocean CDR is getting serious legislative attention — this matters for ocean alkalinity enhancement, seaweed sinking, and electrochemical approaches. Policy is finally catching up to the science. 🌊⚗️

The first EPA-permitted ocean alkalinity enhancement field trial — and results are being presented TODAY at #OSM26 in Glasgow. 🌊

WHOI's LOC-NESS project tested adding alkalinity to seawater in the Gulf of Maine to lock CO₂ in the ocean.

If the science checks out, OAE could be a massive CDR pathway. Transparency and community engagement are key.

The idea of storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ocean, also referred to as ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR), involves a range of methods to enhance the ocean's capacity to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. This approach is gaining increasing attention as a potential solution to tackle the adverse effects of climate change.

Will stashing more CO2 in the ocean help slow climate change?

Research is needed on how ocean carbon removal methods — such as iron fertilization and direct capture — could impact the environment.

Harnessing the Ocean’s Power to Combat the Climate Crisis - Climate Law Blog

While progress is being made, there is still a lot to do. The IPCC has said that, in addition to reducing emissions, it will likely also be necessary to draw greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere to mitigate climate change. The Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, an affiliate of the Columbia Climate School, has been exploring various ways of doing that, including through “blue carbon” approaches. Blue carbon is carbon captured by ocean and coastal ecosystems. In this post, we will focus specifically on ocean-based carbon dioxide removal and sequestration, also known as “ocean CDR”.

🌊 We released model legislation, with support from Ocean Visions, to advance safe & responsible #ocean #C02removal research in US waters: https://buff.ly/3YOXyO7 #OceanCDR #climateaction

Developing Model Federal Legislation to Advance Safe and Responsible Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal Research in the United States

This model federal legislation aims to advance safe and responsible ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR) research in U.S. waters. Controlled field trials and other in-ocean research is critical to improve scientific and societal understanding of CDR techniques that could help the U.S. reach its climate goals. However, existing legal frameworks were not designed to regulate ocean CDR and, in some cases, unnecessarily or inappropriately restrict needed research. The purpose of this proposed model legislation is to establish clear and efficient permitting regime for in-ocean CDR research. At the same time, the model legislation builds in consultation, monitoring, and other safeguards to ensure research occurs in a scientifically-sound manner and minimizes potential risks to the environment and communities.
