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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

To some it was a reckless experiment but scientists hope the dispersal of 65,000 litres of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine could ease the climate crisis For four days last August, a thick ...

The first-ever field test of ocean alkalinity enhancement in the United States was pushed back to 2025 due to shipping issues. But the geoengineering experiment has also run into public opposition ...

Last August, a team of researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) poured more than 16,000 gallons of a caustic solution into federal waters off the coast of Massachusetts. Their ...
