The burning of fossil fuels has produced vast amounts of carbon dioxide as a waste product. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change requires industrialised countries to mitigate the rate of increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The most promising approach for mitigating climate change is to enhance biological sinks, the potentially largest of which is the ocean. Ocean nourishment is a technique for enhancing ocean sequestration by providing nutrients to regions of the ocean where they are in short supply. This process has the potential to generate tradeable carbon credits. It can be a very effective use for stranded offshore gas. Ocean nourishment can turn a waste product, carbon dioxide, into marine protein suitable for human consumption.
