Funded through the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Sensing Exports of Anthropogenic Carbon through Ocean Observation (SEA-CO2)<\/a>\u00a0programme, the projects will work to measure and validate the performance of a range of marine carbon dioxide removal technologies.<\/p>\n Leveraging the ocean’s inherent carbon removal abilities is another innovative strategy the US is employing to combat greenhouse gas emissions and achieve a net zero economy by 2050.<\/p>\n US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm highlighted the importance of marine carbon dioxide removal innovation: “Reaching President Biden’s ambitious decarbonisation goals and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change will require a wide range of innovative climate solutions.<\/p>\n “From common-sense approaches like improving energy efficiency to novel applications like utilising the ocean’s natural carbon removal abilities to reduce greenhouse gas pollution from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n “With critical funding from DOE, project teams from across the country will develop groundbreaking new technologies to cut emissions that will help combat the climate crisis while reinforcing America’s global leadership in the clean energy industries of the future.”<\/p>\n Marine carbon dioxide removal solutions utilise the ocean’s natural carbon capture and storage<\/a> abilities and, when combined with carbon removal techniques, can eradicate millions of tons of CO2 emissions annually.<\/p>\n These technologies are employed across large surfaces or volumes of the ocean over long periods. The SEA-CO2 programme aims to accelerate the scalability and improve the cost-effectiveness of marine carbon dioxide removal technologies to drive climate goals.<\/p>\nWhat is marine carbon dioxide removal?<\/h3>\n
