The CDR potential and possible environmental side effects are estimated for various COA deployment scenarios, assuming olivine as the alkalinity source in ice ‐ free coastal waters (about 8.6 %
of the global
ocean's surface
area), with dissolution rates being a function
of grain size, ambient seawater temperature, and pH. Our results indicate that for a
large ‐ enough olivine deployment
of small ‐ enough grain sizes (10 µm), atmospheric CO2 could be reduced by more than 800 GtC by the year 2100.

Models have projected that
large areas of the Arctic
Ocean will become undersaturated with respect to aragonite in the next decade [3]--[6].
These data link the Arctic
Ocean's

areas of low buffering capacity.
