As of 2021, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached
historically unprecedented levels, higher than at any time in the
past 800,000 years. Worldwide efforts to reduce emissions by
creating a more efficient, carbon-free energy system may not be
enough to stabilize the climate and avoid the worst impacts of
climate change. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies, which
remove and sequester carbon from the atmosphere, likely will be
needed to meet global climate goals. The ocean, covering 70% of the
Earth's surface, includes much of the global capacity for natural
carbon sequestration; the ocean also holds great potential for
uptake and longerterm sequestration of human-produced CO2. This
report builds on previous work from the National Academies to
assess what is currently known about the benefits, risks, and
potential for responsible scale-up of six specific ocean-based CDR
strategies as identified by the sponsor, ClimateWorks Foundation.
It describes the research needed to advance understanding of those
approaches and address knowledge gaps. The resulting research
agenda is meant to provide an improved and unbiased knowledge base
for the public, stakeholders, and policymakers to make informed
decisions on the next steps for ocean CDR, as part of a larger
climate mitigation strategy; it is not meant to lock in or advocate
for any particular approach. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary
