Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is one of several proposed techniques for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in the oceans. In OAE, alkaline materials such as ground rock are added to ocean waters, increasing pH levels (and thus reducing acidity) and enabling greater uptake of carbon dioxide.
