Fertilizing ocean plankton with iron to store carbon for at least 30 years.

This booklet explains ocean iron fertilization as a proposed nature-based climate method for long-term carbon capture. It shows how small additions of bioavailable iron may stimulate diatom-rich plankton blooms, help that biomass become fast-sinking marine snow, and verify that stored carbon sinks deep enough to remain separated from the atmosphere for at least 30 years. It also compares this method with other ocean and land-based carbon removal approaches.
