Unified ASsessment framework for proposed methods of MArine CDR and interim knowledge SYnthesiS (ASMASYS)
In ASMASYS, one of the main goals is to establish a comprehensive assessment framework for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) and marine carbon storage (mCS) options, serving as a foundational tool for evaluating various methods uniformly. This is essential for several reasons: As the marine environment offers enormous potential for mCDR and mCS initiatives to remove and store significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere, these methods also come with unique challenges and risks, particularly in terms of environmental impact and regulatory compliance. By creating a comprehensive assessment framework, policy makers, scientists and stakeholders can evaluate and assess the feasibility, effectiveness, environmental and ethical implications of marine mCDR/mCS methods.
