DAM Research Mission CDRmare

The research mission CDRmare (CDR: Carbon Dioxide Removal) of the German Marine Research Alliance (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung - DAM) investigates whether and to what extent the ocean can play a significant role in the removal and storage of CO2 from the atmosphere. It will also consider the linkages with and impacts on the marine environment, Earth system, and society, as well as appropriate approaches for monitoring, attributing, and accounting for marine carbon storage in a changing environment. 
CDRmare is composed of six consortia investigating different methods of marine CO2 removal and storage (alkalinisation, blue carbon, artificial upwelling, CCS) in terms of their potential, risks and trade-offs and bringing them together in a transdisciplinary assessment framework.
