UN Ocean Decade Endorsed Seminar Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal
Right now, COP30 is pushing hard to accelerate progress on climate action, carbon sequestration science is showing impressive, groundbreaking results, and the carbon removal market is breaking through the $10 billion mark (up from $430 million in spring 2023).The planet needs urgent climate action, but how can we know that specific carbon sequestration projects are actually bearing fruit?Monitoring,...

UN Ocean Decade Endorsed Seminar 5: Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement for Negative Emissions and its Environmental Impacts
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a promising approach for atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. This study investigates wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) as effective sites for OAE by adding olivine-rich minerals during the aerobic treatment process. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that olivine dissolution in aerobically treated wastewater occurred approximately 20 times faster than in seawater,...

UN Ocean Decade Endorsed Seminar 4: Polarity Governs Fate——The Role of Molecular Traits in Marine DOM Cycling
Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of Earth’s largest long-term carbon reservoirs, critical to the global carbon cycle. A key breakthrough in understanding this pool is the identification of biorefractory carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecules (CRAM). Recent studies have challenged the biorecalcitrance of CRAM but lacked detailed molecular evidence.In this webinar, Dr. He will introduce the how ...
