I am curious about the chemistry of calcium carbonate accretion using electricity. Obviously, there is calcium in seawater and also dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide, so, world wide, there are plenty of raw materials for corals as well as shellfish. But what would happen if the carbon dioxide in the water got below a certain point being consumed in the calcium combination? Would CO2 dissolve into the global oceans from the atmosphere to maintain a balance? Is there enough calcium in the water to sustain accretion to the point of depleting CO2 from the atmosphere?
Could we help the greenhouse gas problem a little by creating farms of electrically accreted islands with the aid of some cheap solar panels and a bunch of, say, chicken wire?
