How to Pull Carbon Dioxide Out of Seawater

  • Recently, the possibility of removing carbon dioxide directly from ocean water has emerged as another promising possibility for mitigating CO2 emissions, one that could potentially someday even lead to overall net negative emissions.
  • Now, a team of researchers at MIT says they may have found the key to a truly efficient and inexpensive removal mechanism.
  • The findings were reported this week in the journal Energy and Environmental Science , in a paper by MIT professors T. Alan Hatton and Kripa Varanasi, postdoc Seoni Kim, and graduate students Michael Nitzsche, Simon Rufer, and Jack Lake.
