This proposal brings together two industrial partners (Planetary Hydrogen Inc., Pro-Oceanus Ltd.), the not-for-profit Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship (COVE), the Atlantic Regional Association of the multi-sector Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS-Atlantic), and a team of top academic researchers from Dalhousie University to speed up the development of verification and assessment tools for ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. Rapid development of CDRs is urgently needed to achieve the bold emission reduction targets legislated by Canada and the province of Nova Scotia on its path toward net-zero emissions. The project responds to a projected trillion-$ global market in carbon trading. At the core of the proposed activities is the design of an assessment and verification framework for ocean-based CDRs that includes a combination of autonomous ocean observations and numerical models, and its implementation in Halifax Harbour to verify carbon uptake and assess downstream effects of artificial ocean alkalinity enhancement. Co-design of the proposed Research & Development activities through a networked approach will shorten idea-to-market timelines and optimize implementation and assessment of the new technologies. The project will enable the province and Canada to seize new economic opportunities created by global commitments for achieving net-zero emissions, and to assume a world-leading role in the fight against climate change.

该提案汇集了两个工业合作伙伴（行星氢公司，Pro-Oceanus Ltd.），与非营利海洋风险投资和创业中心、多部门加拿大综合海洋观测系统大西洋区域协会以及达尔豪西大学的一个顶级学术研究人员团队合作，加快开发海洋二氧化碳清除技术的核查和评估工具。迫切需要快速开发CDR，以实现加拿大和新斯科舍省在实现净零排放的道路上制定的大胆减排目标。该项目是对预计将达到万亿美元的全球碳交易市场的回应。拟议活动的核心是为基于海洋的社区发展报告设计一个评估和核查框架，其中包括自主海洋观测和数值模型的组合，并在哈利法克斯港实施该框架，以核查碳吸收和评估人为海洋碱度增加的下游影响。通过网络化方法共同设计拟议的研发活动将缩短创意上市时间，并优化新技术的实施和评估。该项目将使该省和加拿大抓住全球承诺创造的新经济机遇，实现净零排放，并在应对气候变化方面发挥世界领先作用。
