; and (B) additional mining for the purposes of carbon mineralization. (2) Requirements The study under paragraph (1) shall include an analysis of— (A) the relative carbon removal potential associated with various scales of carbon mineralization; (B) the cost of environmental mitigation of the environmental impacts identified under the study; and (C) opportunities— (i) for remediation; (ii) to co-extract reactive minerals with conventional mining operations; and (iii) for the use of reactive minerals in mining remediation. C Aquatic carbon removal 121. Ocean carbon removal mission Section 969D of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16298d ) is amended— (1) in subsection (a) by inserting and aquatic sources after atmosphere ; and (2) in subsection (c)— (A) in paragraph (5), by striking and after the semicolon; (B) in paragraph (6), by striking the period at the end and inserting a semicolon; and (C) by adding at the end the following: (7) ocean carbon removal and strategies, such as— (A) blue carbon, which is the management of vegetated coastal habitats (including mangroves, tidal marshes, seagrasses, kelp forests, and other tidal, freshwater, or saltwater wetlands) that sequester carbon (including autochthonous carbon and allochthonous carbon) from the atmosphere, accumulate carbon in biomass, and store the carbon in soils; (B) direct ocean capture (as described in section 122(a) of the Carbon Removal and Emissions Storage Technologies Act of 2023 ); (C) microalgae and macroalgae cultivation for— (i) biofuels; (ii) bioproducts; and (iii) carbon storage; and (D) ocean alkalinity enhancement
