CLEANING THE AIR AND OCEANS OF CO2.

The article discusses the technique developed by the research team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory led by George Rau, which cost-effectively capture and store carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere. It explains that the technique involves electrolysis which increases the acidity of the saline water, which accelerated the dissolution of silicate minerals. It adds that the electrolyte solution raised the levels of hydroxide that can store and hold atmospheric carbon dioxide.
