Zusammenfassung:The invention includes systems, methods, compositions, and processes for designing, manufacturing, and utilizing carbon dioxide-sequestering substrates that can fully or partially replace natural sand in coastal engineering applications. These engineered substrates can offset demand for scarce native sand resources, while also effecting the conversion of gaseous carbon dioxide to dissolved or solid-phase products thereby offsetting impacts of anthropogenic climate change. L'invention comprend des systèmes, des méthodes, des compositions et des procédés de conception, de fabrication et d'utilisation de substrats séquestrant le dioxyde de carbone qui peuvent remplacer totalement ou partiellement le sable naturel dans des applications d'ingénierie côtières. Ces substrats modifiés peuvent compenser la demande en ressources de sable natif rares, tout en permettant également la conversion de dioxyde de carbone gazeux en produits dissous ou en phase solide, décalant ainsi les impacts de changement climatique anthropogène.
