If the Running Tide people would like to use their experience and connections to market another form of CDR, I would like to explain an inexpensive form of BECCS. Jonathan.Feinstein@ExcelThermic.com
Worsening the market meltdown of mCDR: my understanding is that the air-sea co2 equilibration time scale, regardless of which mCDR technology, is up to 18 months by which time the water parcel that was "treated" has moved 1000's of km's and is diluted probably by a factor of one million or more. So it is NOT MEASUREABLE.
Combine this with the move toward more rigorous MRV standards and you have an mCDR train wreck.
For mCDR to realize its potential, the MRV needs to rely on first effects (e.g. pH change, phytoplankton growth, or whatever) not on the final definitive CO2 equilibration across the air-sea boundary.
Thanks for sharing, Jason. Let's focus on creating customers, by all and for all.

The failure is also a lack of transparency which very much concerned members of the scientific community.
An Icelandic investigative magazine published a long form article on this:

This article has been translated in English (using Google Translate I think) but I cannot recall who did it:
