Did you know the ocean stores around 50 times more carbon dioxide than the entire atmosphere? That staggering fact is at the heart of our next episode, where we explore whether this massive carbon reservoir could be harnessed to help solve climate change.

We’ll take you inside some of the most innovative—and controversial—projects aiming to boost the ocean’s own carbon-capturing power. From extracting CO₂ directly from seawater to adding special minerals that make the ocean “hungrier” for atmospheric carbon, you’ll hear how scientists are testing bold new ideas in real-world pilot projects.

But it isn’t just about the technology. We dig into tough questions about energy demands, costs, and what these interventions might mean for marine life and coastal communities. Is this the breakthrough climate solution we need, or are we risking unintended harm to the ecosystems we depend on?

Join us as we break down the science, the stakes, and the debates shaping the future of ocean-based carbon removal. If you’re curious about how big ideas could shift the fight against climate change—and what it might mean for our oceans—this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
