Claim 0:
1. An electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) system configured to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and mitigate ocean acidification, the OAE system comprising:
a base-generating device that is configured to generate an ocean alkalinity product byprocessing a feedstock solution and configured to supply the ocean alkalinity product to an ocean at a designated outfall location, wherein the ocean alkalinity product includes a salt solution comprising a fully dissolved base substance; and
a control circuit configured to monitor input data received from multiple sources and to control operations performed by the base-generating device in response to the received input data such that the ocean alkalinity product is generated and supplied to the ocean only when said input data received by the control circuit indicates (1) sufficient low/zero-carbon electricity is available to operably power the base-generating device, (2) the base-generating device is operably configured to safely generate and supply the ocean alkalinity product, and (3) supplying the ocean alkalinity product will not endanger sea life in the ocean.
