Leveraging the ocean's carbon removal potential

GreenBiz

In addition to these opportunities, a range of ocean-based carbon removal approaches could help capture and store billions of tons of carbon. Importantly, these approaches would not increase ocean acidification. The ocean absorbs just under one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, contributing to a rise in ocean acidification.

'Every fraction of warming matters': World careering towards irreversible climate impacts, top scientists warn

Business Green

Landmark IPCC report provides wave of stark warnings, but stresses that rapidly putting the global economy on course to net zero emissions by 2050 could hugely reduce the escalating impacts that will result from a warmer world. Some of these impacts are now thought to be irreversible within timespans stretching to thousands of years.

? Charting a course to curb maritime emissions

Climate Tech VC

Current decarbonization efforts alone set the industry on a course to increase emissions ~10% from today’s levels by 2050. Despite fears about cost increases and low-sulfur fuel availability, the change was a success in terms of decreasing pollution that contributes to ocean acidification and harms the health of humans and marine life.
