As human activity and climate change increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the ocean, harming coral reefs and marine life, researchers have designed a new technology using aqueous sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate to remove carbon dioxide from ocean water, helping reverse acidification and reduce global warming.   “It took years to pull this off […]

      Dissolved CO2 in the water is bad too.

        To build on this, the oceans absorb carbon from the air. As we remove CO2 from the ocean that differential becomes higher and more CO2 comes out of the air.

      From the article:

      “Our technology can be thought of as ‘indirect air capture’ because the ocean will take more carbon dioxide out of the air above it to replace the carbon dioxide that we’re removing.” Hornbostel said.
