KAIST and MIT Develop Electrochemical System for Permanent Seawater CO2 Mineralization

A joint research team from KAIST and MIT has engineered an electrochemical dissolved ocean carbon removal system that efficiently mineralizes seawater CO2 into stable calcium carbonate. This system significantly cuts energy use by up to 54% and can operate continuously for extended periods, offering a promising solution for permanent carbon storage with potential for deployment on ships and offshore platforms.
