Ocean Visions’ new high level road map emphasizes the importance of field trials of different mCDR technologies, at appropriate scales, to answer important outstanding questions, 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. The tool includes information on the different mCDR pathways being tested, details of carbon dioxide sequestration, MRV strategy, and lessons learned from the trials.
