A Research Strategy for Ocean-based Carbon Dioxide Removal and Sequestration

The 2022 National Academies report, A Research Strategy for Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal and Sequestration, details the state of science of several marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) approaches along with an agenda of critical research needed to increase the knowledge base of this very complex climate mitigation approach and thus enable informed decision making on next steps. As the field is rapidly evolving, the National Academies Ocean Studies Board will establish a new standing committee to regularly update the 2022 report so that it remains relevant and serves as a trusted, vetted, and transparent resource for the mCDR community.
