Carbon removal plant absorbs CO2 at 99,000 times the rate of all Earth's oceans
The world's oceans act as nature's most significant carbon sink, soaking up roughly 25% of the carbon dioxide produced by human activities.
This process involves running an electric current through seawater, splitting it into hydrogen, oxygen, and two separate fluids: an acid and a base. The benefits of CDR technology are "far in the future, whereas the risks of initiating this industry and this infrastructure development are local, short-term, and much more immediate," Cross noted. Equatic's efforts represent a promising step towards harnessing the ocean's natural processes to combat climate change, but it is clear that we must continue to pursue a balanced approach that includes reducing emissions and protecting our environment.
