will the supply of ion enable the find hope langton to grow faster and absorb c o 2 before drifting to the bottom of the oceans in theory each ton of iron added to the oceans could remove between 30110000 tons of c o 2 from the atmosphere. ocean for lies a ship is probably the only carbon capture technology that's able to sequester a mess if the amount of c o 2 at a very low cost and as a by effect probably improving the very eco system as well we've developed a methodology where we can tag and measure if a fish grew as a result of our claim to bloom and in the process of growing that that claim to in its consume c o 2 and eventually these diatoms these days he's playing to die and they will a portion of that will sink to the bottom of the ocean sequester the carbon there for you know long periods of time. to date a dozen experiments have taken place to test the impact of ocean fertilization on marine ecosystems in 2009 the indo german program loha fix gathered new data research has poured more than 6 tons of iron into a 300 square kilometers stretch of ocean this led to a doubling of
