The Sabin Center wrapped up Climate Week NYC last Friday with an event exploring the opportunities and challenges posed by ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). As evidenced by the 150-plus people in attendance, ocean CDR is attracting growing attention as a possible climate change mitigation option.

Support for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is growing globally. In its Sixth Assessment Report , released last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that global carbon dioxide emissions must reach net-zero by the early 2050s to limit warming to 1.5 By Carolina Arlota and Korey Silverman-Roati.

Two reports published in the US look seriously at the practicalities and responsibilities of altering the ocean to tackle the climate crisis. Yet the technologies needed to do this, collectively known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), remains nascent, underfunded and largely unregulated. The ocean as a carbon sink.
