Introduction
The increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have led to detrimental effects on the environment, particularly on marine ecosystems. One of the key solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change is through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in sustainable approaches to marine carbon capture, which involves capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in the ocean.
This thesis aims to explore the various sustainable approaches to marine carbon capture, including the potential benefits and challenges associated with these technologies. By examining the current state of research in this field and proposing new strategies for enhancing marine carbon capture, this study seeks to contribute to the ongoing efforts to combat climate change and protect marine ecosystems.
