Biocement from the ocean: Hybrid microbial-electrochemical mineralization of CO.

Increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO are leading to rising global temperatures and extreme weather events. However, the most prominent method of removing CO via direct air capture remains cost-prohibitive. Oceans sequester carbon through several naturally occurring carbon dioxide removal (CDR) processes, one of which includes microorganisms that utilize dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in their metabolic processes.
