Mark, et al., Containment has many benefits and patents in that area may have a broad future.
There is enough use in the marine space for all forms of containment to keep that IP field active for more than a generation. Most all of the technologies that have gained the interests of this geoengineering list can be accommodated in and or by the Blue Biochar communities. Stratospheric injection of sulfur is the exception yet that same hardware can be easily used by Oceanic Farms. The farms will use the sulfur as a nutrient.
