The ocean annually absorbs about 27% of the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels and takes up much of the excess heat that is trapped in the atmosphere by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. This moderation of the terrestrial impact of climate change comes at growing cost to life in the ocean and to the crucial ecosystem services it provides. At the same time, the ocean offers important opportunities for enhanced sequestration and storage of carbon from the <a href="http://atmosphere.

This presentation will introduce the role of the ocean in climate. It will then explore some of the technologies that might be employed to make better use of the capacity of the ocean for sequestering and storing carbon from the atmosphere as a contribution to the delivery of net zero and <a href="http://beyond.
