US Government Investing $36 Million on Ocean-Based Carbon Capture
US Government , Investing $36 Million on , Ocean-Based Carbon Capture.
'Time' reports that the United States Department of Energy
(DOE) is looking to distribute $36 million toward projects
aimed at scaling up ocean-based carbon removal technology.
11 scientific projects across the U.S. will receive additional
funding to help determine how much ocean-based carbon
capture could mitigate the impact of climate change.
'Time' reports that oceans could
theoretically be manipulated to
absorb billions of tons of carbon dioxide.
Current experimental methods include
alkaline materials like lime being dumped into
the water to consume greenhouse gases.
Other approaches include creating algal
blooms or sinking plant biomass in order to
prevent it from decomposing and releasing CO2.

'Time' reports that the current array of
ocean-based carbon capture technologies have only
been able to remove negligible amounts of carbon. .
The different approaches all require significant
bolstering before they could prove to make
a difference in the fight against climate change.
The DOE's ARPA-E office, which is dedicated to developing new
technologies, launched a program to create sensors and computer
models to determine the efficacy of ocean-based carbon capture.
Reaching President Biden’s ambitious decarbonization goals and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change will require a wide range of innovative climate solutions, Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy, via 'Time'.
... from common-sense approaches
like improving energy efficiency
to novel applications like utilizing
the ocean’s natural carbon removal
abilities to reduce greenhouse gas
pollution from the atmosphere, Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy, via 'Time'
