St Ives Bay carbon capture trial ‘very low risk’ – report
FEBRUARY 13, 2024
By Paul Homewood
Plans to add magnesium hydroxide to the sea at St Ives Bay in a bid to combat climate change are "very low risk", according to an independent review.
Planetary Technologies and South West Water want to carry out a carbon sequestration trial.
They want to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lock it in the sea by adding the alkaline mineral.
The independent review of the plans was carried out by the Water Research Centre (WRc).
The Environment Agency (EA) is yet to decide whether the trial will go ahead.
