Vibbert & Park (2022): Harvesting, storing, and converting carbon from the ocean to create a new carbon economy: Challenges and opportunities

Hunter B. Vibbert & Ah-Hyung Alissa Park IN: Front. Energy Res., Sec. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage, https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2022.999307

In this perspective article, the authors discuss alkalinity enhancement and biologically inspired CO2 hydration reactions that can shift the equilibrium of ocean water to pump more carbon into this natural sink. Further, they highlight recent work that can harvest and convert CO2 captured by the ocean into chemicals, fuels, and materials using renewable energy such as off-shore wind.
