The article discusses a new technology being developed by CarbonRun, which aims to combat global warming by enhancing the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The process involves grinding limestone and releasing it into rivers, which reacts with carbon dioxide, converting it into a stable molecule that remains underwater. This method is considered relatively simple and potentially very effective in capturing excess atmospheric carbon. The article highlights the growing interest in ocean-based carbon removal strategies due to the urgent need to address climate change and high greenhouse gas emissions.
