All very interesting but I strongly disagree with this one:


Massachusetts institute of technology: New analysis shows pulling CO2 from the air would not be cost-effective in the foreseeable future

I am currently working on a project that, on a relatively small scale, will generate profits of about $6 million USD per year pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and will also produce large amounts of electricity, jet fuel, liquid fertilizer and biochar. Biochar is very good for soil and has been proven in numerous independent studies to increase crop yields by up to 900% - and it has been found to remain effective in soil for thousands of years! This is a huge win-win-win-win for the whole planet. The primary focus is not the money.


Not cost-effective? I wonder who paid MIT to publish that false conclusion.

Arrowwind, Biochar is charcoal, regardless when it formed. Art suppliers might still sell charcoal but almost any camp site or (inactive) wood stove also can provide bits and pieces. Web vendors can perhaps supply as much as truckloads. Or to make one's own, burn wood scraps until these appear thouroughly incandescent or almost glowing translucently. Then quench the fire instantly with water, until all embers are cooled. Or to save on water, simply smother the fire with ashes, sand or soil, allow to stand until cool.

Plants pull CO2 from the air through photosynthesis. About 1/3 of the weight of plants is carbon, 1/3 is water and 1/3 is other substances. When the plant is "cooked" in a process called pyrolysis, what remains is mostly carbon - or biochar. When that biochar is added to soil, it effectively sequesters the carbon in the soil.

The next crop grown in soil "amended" with biochar will grow much more vigorously, producing from 50% more (if soil quality is already outstanding) and up to 900% more biomass (if soil quality is poor).



A Zero-Waste Solution— Biochar is a fine-grained charcoal made by pyrolysis (pì-rä'-la-sis), the process of heating biomass (wood, manure, crop residues, solid waste, etc.) with limited to no oxygen in a specially designed furnace capturing all emissions, gasses and oils for reuse as energy.

This web page has a list of biochar suppliers in USA, Canada, Australia and UK: http://biochar.bioenergylists.org/materials

This is a no-tech method - effective but very polluting. Quenching the fire with water is said to "activate" the carbon which, some people argue, makes a the carbon better for things like water-filtration. More long-term field trials need to be done before we can conclude that it is better for soil fertility.

For a bag's worth, collecting char from wood stove dump piles, camp fire sites or the garden brush-burn-pile-site is actually co-generaton given that other uses already claimed the 'inefficiency- karma'.... It surely depends on location, location, location. Woodsy areas tend to bear surpluses like this. If one is near a lumber mill, check their ash pile which can be loaded with carbon, though mixed with high ph (alkiline) ash. Northern woodsy areas may have low ph (acidic) soils which can benefit from the high ph ash. Or if near to ag areas, some producers might burn their residue-wastes crudely and might have carbon rich left overs, just lying around in piles. The discovered Meso-American, ancient char resources, were not likely, efficiently produced. A friend in Arkansas sent me a bag of very black, charred rice hulls. (We were actually interested in another mineral for strengthening cement. No matter, the mineral also benefits plants, regardless, (having come from rice harvesting). In any event, it is generally important to not inhale dust from a large, modern pile of ash. Rain soaked piles are better to dig from, in the case of rice-residues, especially. The mineral silica in rice hull residues can neutralize in healthy, mineralized, humus soils, because it bonds readily in nature. I personally prefer to focus on extensive composting which in fact builds up carbon content in soils. Each region has it's particular assets for composting. These might be non-techno-engineered approaches, yet the best gardeners are rarely into engineered-everything. As for building your own water filtration system from scratch, that is a loaded talking-point methinks.
