Researchers present an electrochemical method, bipolar membrane electrodialysis, to combat ocean acidification and remove CO2.
A small-scale BMED system was developed to test in collaboration with the Palo Alto Research Center and X Development in 2015 showed promising results.An electrochemical technology might be a solution to combat ocean acidification and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. With the support of the Carbon to Sea initiative, researchers from McMaster University and the University of Toronto have developed the ingenious technology.
This has corresponded with a 30% rise in ocean acidity. The sharp increase is now posing a grave threat to marine life and ecosystems, particularly coral reefs., only 45% of carbon dioxide emissions remain in the atmosphere; the remainder is absorbed through two cycles: 1) the biological carbon cycle stores COConsequently, scientists have explored various methods to address this issue. One of the methods they have tried is ocean alkalinity enhancement.
