🎙️ Podcast Feature: Submarine’s Veronica Tamsitt Discusses Cost Efficiency of Iron Fertilization

Written By Jacki Long

Submarine Scientific co-founder Dr. Veronica Tamsitt was featured in a Plan Sea,podcast episode on the complex dynamics and cost-effectiveness of iron fertilization as a marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) strategy, referencing her recent publication in Global Biogeochemical Cycles. Plan Sea is a podcast focusing on ocean-based climate solutions produced by Carbon to Sea and American University.

Joined by Dr. Lennart Bach, the conversation dives into:

  • The carbon sequestration potential of iron fertilization in the Southern Ocean

  • Challenges in verifying permanence and estimating MRV costs at scale

  • The importance of combining biogeochemical expertise with pragmatic cost modeling

  • How new tools and research partnerships can improve decision-making in ocean-based CDR
