CARBON REMOVAL [7 records]

Record 1 2025-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climate Change
CONT

The opportunity for harnessing the power of the ocean to sequester and safely store carbon dioxide is massive compared to that of its terrestrial counterparts. The ocean already holds more carbon than any other part of Earth's biosphere and has the potential to contribute even more. The sheer scale of the ocean also means that any marine carbon dioxide removal solutions proven to be viable and safe have the potential to go to the scale needed. A number of ocean-based CDR approaches are being explored, each requiring additional research and testing.

Endeavour is outfitted with a Regenerative Carbon Dioxide Removal System that may be used in tandem with Lithium Hydroxide (LioH) canisters to remove carbon dioxide from the crew cabin atmosphere. The regenerative system, if used alone, would eliminate the need to carry extensive amounts of LioH canisters for a long flight. Currently, the crew must change out LioH canisters daily as part of spacecraft housekeeping. The regenerative system works by removing the CO2 and then releasing it to space through a vent. The new system will not be used alone for Endeavour's first flight, but will be tested.
