The UK is now filtering CO2 from seawater
The “SeaCURE” pilot project in the south of England aims to be more efficient and cheaper than direct air capture processes.
There is far too much CO2 in our atmosphere. To curb the climate crisis, it is therefore necessary to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon capture technologies, i.e. the capture of CO2 that has already been released, could provide additional support.
This is exactly what the SeaCURE pilot project, which was recently launched in the southern English town of Weymouth, is doing. The University of Exeter and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory are among those involved, with funding coming from the British government.
