In a blog post last month, I wrote about the growing interest in ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and the complex legal issues it raises. On the ocean CDR side, the parties looked at (1) ocean alkalinity enhancement and (2) biomass cultivation for carbon removal (including seaweed cultivation and sinking ).

Governmental policies established as a result of commitments made in the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement have already successfully prevented the emissions of several Gigatons of CO 2 , targeting deforestation, energy efficiency, new technology deployment, and carbon accounting as their main mitigation efforts.

The first, known as greenhouse gas (GHG) removal , seeks to mitigate climate change by pulling GHGs – most commonly carbon dioxide – out of the atmosphere and durably storing them. The second category of marine geoengineering activities, known as solar radiation management or modification (SRM), do not directly target GHGs.
