To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...

Increasing seawater alkalinity by adding an alkaline substance is a promising climate mitigation method that aims to enhance the oceans carbon dioxide (CO 2) storage capacity while simultaneously ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO 2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification of seawater. By increasing the alkalinity of seawater through the addition ...
