UCLA Says We Can Hack The Ocean To Store Carbon Dioxide
Saline Water-Based Mineralization Pathway for Gigaton Scale Carbon Dioxide Management“This perspective proposes a potential pathway to diminish atmospheric CO2 accumulations which is distinct from traditional carbon capture and geological sequestration strategies and from existing negative emissions technologies .
Flow through membrane-less electrolysis: A flowing electrolyte is dissociated while in motion. The process utilizes cost-effective mesh electrodes while also decreasing the number of components and assembly steps and reducing the risk of device failure. Since the atmosphere and the oceans are in a state of equilibrium, if carbon dioxide is extracted from the ocean, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere can then dissolve into seawater. In this scenario, seawater is like a sponge for carbon dioxide that has already absorbed its full capacity. The sCS2 process aims to wring it out, allowing the sponge to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The name includes “single-step” to differentiate it from other concepts that require carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to undergo a multi-step concentration process before it can be stored. While some plans propose storing captured carbon dioxide in geological formations such as depleted natural oil and gas reservoirs, there is a risk of leaks returning that carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. By contrast, sCS2 is meant to durably store carbon dioxide in the form of solid minerals.
“We should be clear: Managing and mitigating carbon dioxide is foremost an economic challenge,” Sant said. “Many of today’s approaches for carbon management either require more clean energy than we can produce or are. As such, we need to create solutions that are accessible and that will not impoverish the world.
