"As the planet warms, countries around the world are racing to meet their net
zero targets set out in the
2015 Paris Agreement.
To achieve this, we must collectively curb our net greenhouse gas emissions.
These gases – the largest contributor being carbon dioxide (CO₂) – act as a
cosmic blanket by trapping heat in Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists are investigating ways to lock up more atmospheric carbon in our
oceans, forests and soils.
One of the proposed methods is ocean alkalinity enhancement. This aims to boost
the ocean’s natural ability to absorb and store atmospheric carbon dioxide by
changing the chemistry of seawater.
So how does this process work, and what are the risks?
Let’s unpack the research."
