Carbon Dioxide Removal


Ocean and Coastal CDR

Ocean based carbon dioxide removal methods include ocean alkalinization or enhancement, ocean up-welling, and enhanced kelp farming. Coastal blue carbon is the carbon captured by living coastal and marine organisms and stored in coastal ecosystems, such as salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrass beds.

Reply to Macreadie et al Comment on ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’

2018
Scholarly Work
Sophia C Johannessen, Robie W Macdonald
This article is a response to the Macreadie (et al) challenge of the ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’ paper, in which a proposal for an international protocol to quantify carbon burial in seagrass is presented.

Comment on ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’

2018
Scholarly Work
Peter I Macreadie, Carolyn J Ewers-Lewis, Ashley A Whitt, Quinn Ollivier, Stacey M Trevathan-Tackett, Paul Carnell, Oscar Serrano
This comment seeks to clarify some of the questions raised by Johannessen and Macdonald, with an aim to promote discussion in the scientific community about the evidence for carbon sequestration by seagrasses with a view to awarding carbon credits.

Assessing ocean alkalinity for carbon sequestration

2017
Scholarly Work
Phil Renforth, Gideon Henderson
The aim of this paper is to review all aspects of the inorganic carbon sink in the ocean, including the function of alkalinity in the ocean carbon cycle and issues around environmental impact, quantification, monitoring, governance, and longevity.

Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?

2016
Scholarly Work
Sophia C Johannessen, Robie W Macdonald
This article argues that geoengineering with seagrasses before reliable assessment methods have been established can result in overestimated carbon offsets that could lead to a net increase in emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
