What Are Climos Near Term Plans?
Climos intends to carry out a demonstration program of Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) in order to understand the potential of OIF as carbon mitigation tool. We understand and appreciate the interest of scientists, regulators and NGOs in these activities. We have been working with these groups to: • Explain how OIF can be effective at carbon sequestration; • Develop future OIF experiments in a transparent manner; • Show that OIF can be carried out in an environmentally benign manner; • Suggest how regulatory controls could be established. The potential sequestration ability of OIF and the impact of OIF at larger scales are separate research questions. We know that these questions cannot be answered with a single large experiment. Instead, we view such an initial experiment as part of a new phase of research focused on the efficacy and impact of moderately-sized experiments (< 200 x 200 km). The demonstration program we are planning will emphasize research related to export and sequestra
