You're in for a surprise.
, an associate research scholar at Columbia Law School and Senior Fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, and a member of the committee that worked on the report tellsthat while they're looking at several techniques, doing a deep dive into the existing legal frameworks for these international approaches is imperative.
Meanwhile, there is already evidence that wild seaweed contributes to carbon removal - research shows that using certain types of red seaweeds as feed supplements can reduce ruminant emissions by However, the process would require massive mining of alkaline minerals. "The effort in obtaining the minerals, grinding and dissolving them in the ocean is massive. Sequestering CO2 by reforestation on land will also be an enormous undertaking. Though the efforts for ocean alkalinity enhancement may seem ridiculously huge, in perspective, it is the same as the former," Riebesell adds.
The beneficial aspects of the processes range beyond solving reducing emissions. By alkalizing the ocean, the acidification levels in the ocean can be reverted and brought back to pre-industrialized pH levels, according to Reibesell. Similarly, artificial upwelling increases ocean productivity.. "The biggest challenge is large parts of the oceans are in international waters, called the high seas, where no one country has exclusive jurisdiction.
At the same time, the Convention on the Law of the Sea provides a framework for activities in ocean areas, including establishing offshore territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. Combined with domestic laws governing coastal areas, one could end up with multiple layers of laws and regulations which adds uncertainty for people who want to conduct research into these techniques.
