Since WSAFE focuses on reviving native ecology, our interventions enhances natural carbon capture by:
✅Promoting native aquatic plant growth for higher CO₂ absorption.
✅Restoring microbial ecosystems to enhance organic carbon burial.
✅Encouraging sedimentation processes for long-term storage.
WSAFE’s Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) make the water alkaline, increase dissolved oxygen, and carbon capture potential significantly improves due to enhanced chemical sequestration alongside biological processes. Here’s how:
# Algae and aquatic plants continue to absorb CO₂ through photosynthesis.
# Their biomass eventually settles and contributes to sediment storage.
# In alkaline water, dissolved CO₂ gets converted into stable bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻) and carbonates (CO₃²⁻), leading to long-term carbon storage
# With alkalinity, more stable carbonates and organic matter accumulate in sediments.
✅ Alkalinity increases total CO₂ capture
✅ More carbon is locked in sediments as stable minerals, improving long-term storage.
✅ WSAFE’s NBS not only rejuvenates ecology but also enhances climate impact!
