The Wild Wild West in our Oceans? The role of start- ups in marine CDR

Summary

This document from the German Environment Agency analyzes the rapidly evolving landscape of marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) start-ups. It highlights the urgent need for mCDR due to accelerating climate change but also identifies significant risks to marine environments, ethical concerns, and the lack of robust monitoring and legal frameworks for these emerging technologies and the voluntary carbon market that drives them. The paper emphasizes the urgency of responsible national and international governance to manage the development and deployment of mCDR effectively.
