TLDR: Uses electrolysis to extract calcium and magnesium from ocean water, which can then be used to extract carbon from atmosphere. Happy by product is hydrogen.
Question: This is similar to the desalination systems, right? Can future infrastructure do both?
One plausible scenario is to have off shore wind and solar farms powering these devices. Drop the limestone into the ocean. Pipe fresh (treated) water back to shore. Bottle up the H2 for collection.
What could be easier?
