| Abstract |
| This project will tackle the problem of climate stabilization by examining the feasibility of a innovative negative emission technology: enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) integrated into coastal zone management. The goal is to perform basic research into efficiency, co-benefits and environmental impact of the technique, in order to examine if and how it can be developed into a sustainable and cost-effective approach for creating negative emissions. |
