California AB1086 establishes the Marine Carbon Initiative to advance research on marine carbon dioxide removal and sequestration.

California AB1086 creates the Marine Carbon Initiative, consisting of the Marine Carbon Council and the Marine Carbon Research Program. The council aims to evaluate marine carbon dioxide removal and sequestration methods, identify scientific gaps, and recommend best practices. The research program will fund grants for eligible projects, focusing on in-ocean testing and field trials. The initiative seeks to balance environmental impacts with the potential benefits of marine carbon dioxide removal for California's climate goals.
