This publication addresses the cost-efficiency of using Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) to mitigate climate change, when compared with the use of forestation. The paper gives a detailed economic analysis of both mitigation methods in the context of carbon accounting. The authors argue that using OIF to enhance the oceanic carbon sink is viable from an economic perspective, but that further research on adverse side effects is needed.
