UK pilot tests carbon removal by drawing CO2 from seawater instead of air

A pioneering project on England’s south coast is testing whether it’s more efficient to pull carbon dioxide out of seawater rather than the atmosphere in an effort to help reduce greenhouse gases.Jonah Fisher reports for BBC.In short:SeaCURE, a UK-government-funded pilot in Weymouth, removes carbon from seawater using an acidification process that turns dissolved CO2 into gas for capture.The project treats seawater to release carbon, then neutra…

The "SeaCURE" pilot project in the south of England should be more efficient and cheaper than direct air capture.
