Global Climate Change Should Strengthen the Study of Marine Micro Bio-Carbon Pump

The ocean plays a significant role in regulating global climate change and absorbing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas effects. Commissioner Wang Lu suggested using marine carbon fixation to develop marine low-carbon technologies and strengthen research and application of marine micro-biological carbon pumps.

According to reports, the marine micro-biological carbon pump is a newly proposed marine carbon storage mechanism in recent years. In the process of dissolving organic carbon, micro-organisms have played a major driving role. Micro-organisms use active dissolved organic carbon and produce Inert dissolved organic carbon. Marine micro-biological carbon pumps not only store carbon, but also release nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby ensuring the sustainability of ocean primary productivity. Marine micro-biological carbon pumps will not lead to ocean acidification. Instead of reconstructing natural ecosystems, they will restore natural ecosystems. They are expected to increase offshore carbon sinks, reduce coastal eutrophication and reduce red tides and other ecological disasters.

Wang Lu suggested that the state should support the research and application of marine micro-biological carbon pumps. It is recommended that marine carbon sinks be included in national science and technology special projects to develop marine low-carbon technologies and tap the ocean's potential for carbon sequestration. It is proposed to carry out systematic surveys and experiments in China's sea areas, and on the basis of the research on the marine micro-bio-charcoal pump frontier, through land and sea co-ordination and implementation of an ecological project to increase foreign exchange, so that the marine micro-bio-charcoal pumps can effectively inactivate organic carbon in the offshore areas. Subsequent long-term carbon storage brought into the ocean by ocean currents has become a model for humans to restore ecosystems and mitigate climate change.

"On the basis of carrying out the above-mentioned ecological projects and realizing the increase of oceans and seas, we must proceed to promote the formulation of standards and standards for relevant methods of marine carbon sinks, timely introduce relevant methodologies and international standards for marine carbon sinks, and enhance our country's discourse on climate negotiations. Right," said Wang Lu.
