Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Field Trial Database
Field trials are essential to answer important outstanding questions about mCDR, such as efficacy, durability, measurability, and impact to marine ecosystems and humans.
A growing number of field trials performed by research institutions, startups, and others are being conducted in a variety of geographic locations. To increase awareness of the state of development and improve knowledge-sharing across the ocean-climate community, Ocean Visions has built a database of all known field trials currently operating or concluded. The tool includes information on the different mCDR pathways being tested, details of carbon dioxide sequestration, MRV strategy, and lessons learned from the trials. Additionally, explore key metrics with a series of graphs and view the geographical spread of field trials with an interactive map.
To be included in the Ocean Visions mCDR Field Trial Database, entries should: Test mCDR technology systems or system components directly in ocean waters or in shore-based systems that interact with ocean waters by:
- Inducing a change to the water’s ability to take up carbon dioxide
- Measuring the response to that change to characterize or improve the efficacy and/or impacts of the mCDR technology system or its component parts.
