The report says natural CO2 removal processes like forests and soil are not going to be enough to stop temperature rises.Technology to remove the planet-warming greenhouse gas CO2 from our atmosphere must be urgently ramped up, leading climate experts say in a new report.And nature alone will not remove enough of it from the air.
There's consensus among scientists that the world is warming primarily because emissions of CO2 far exceed the amount that is being removed . Currently almost all of the world's CO2 removal occurs through natural processes. That's primarily plants and trees taking in CO2 from the air, and the soil absorbing and storing it.
One, known as BECCS, involves incorporating CO2 capture into biomass-based electricity-generation, in which organic matter such as crops and wood pellets are burned to produce power. Other options include: huge facilities where the carbon is extracted from the air before being stored in the ground; the use of specially treated charcoal that locks in carbon; and "enhanced rock weathering" - loosely based on the carbon removal that occurs with natural erosion.
I'm all in for saving the planet and the environment with smart technologies and innovation However if the ultimate aim is to save the environment by removing humanity then it's a no from me
Should probably mention that none of these technologies exist or will exist in a time frame that will help with climate change. Rewilding and stopping emissions are the only 'carbon capture' we have.
Would require more Co2 output to creat robot than possible benefit from yhis extrordiary waste of human intellegence which could be use to figure out how to create massive water sisterns for our poulation, or cure Alzheimer's.
Are trees technology.
ERTACampaigns Development is being build/has been built blocking former rail trackbed or re-use as cycleways becomes more objectors to reopening for rail use. No-one is willing/able to give up their cars/no incentive. Media refuses to give us air time. COP27 said it all!
No one buys your shit any more
Ummm Technology that removes CO2.... It's called plants. You know, trees, bushes, wild grasses etc.
