Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal and Solar Radiation Management Permitting
Proposed marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) or marine solar radiation management (mSRM) activities—including field research trials—that involve the disposition of material into a body of water likely need a permit from the EPA or a state with delegated permitting authority. Below, learn more about mCDR, mSRM and permits for these activities.
The EPA may issue special permits, research permits, emergency permits and general permits for ocean dumping. For additional information about MPRSA permits, please visit our Ocean Dumping Permits webpage.
