One scope is the narrow carbon picture , the one that you’ll hear about most readily: what these approaches mean in terms of how much carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) comes out of a gas plant’s smokestack, or how much less a plant can be said to be emitting. And we don’t need to have all the answers to make a difference.

If we are to protect the ocean, its marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them, we must address climate change at its root: the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Wind energy produces roughly only 11 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour (g CO2/kWh) of electricity generated. Together we can change course.

Marine CDR approaches appear to hold great potential for uptake and sequestration of carbon dioxide.
