About this ebook
""Ocean Carbon Sequestration"" explores the ocean's potential as a major carbon sink and a key player in climate change mitigation. The book investigates the natural processes by which the ocean absorbs atmospheric CO2, highlighting the roles of marine ecosystems and biogeochemical processes.
Interestingly, the book points out that the ocean already absorbs a significant portion of anthropogenic CO2, underscoring the importance of understanding its natural mechanisms. Furthermore, the book highlights the potential risks to marine life due to ocean acidification, a direct consequence of increased CO2 absorption.
The book is structured around three main sections, starting with the natural processes of ocean carbon sequestration, then analyzing the impacts of climate change on these processes, and finally evaluating proposed carbon sequestration strategies like seaweed farming and ocean alkalinity enhancement. Instead of focusing solely on technology, it emphasizes understanding and preserving existing natural carbon sequestration processes. The book adopts a balanced perspective, critically assessing the potential effectiveness, environmental risks, and economic feasibility of various strategies using scientific evidence.
