Summary/Abstract

Given the severe risks of many terrestrial methods at extremely large scales, there is a compelling need to also assess the potential of marine negative-emissions technologies, such as artificial ocean alkalinization (AOA). This article argues that AOA is a CDR method with some of the greatest potential in terms of carbon removal and co-benefits. The article further identifies relevant models of good governance around AOA as well as the international law applicable to AOA activities.
