CDRmare Structure

The DAM research mission CDRmare »Marine Carbon Sinks in Decarbonisation Pathways« 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. The co-chairs of CDRmare are Prof. Andreas Oschlies (GEOMAR) and Prof. Gregor Rehder (IOW).

Overview of the six consortia:
