Carbon Dioxide Removal Primer
To deal with the rot problem, all sorts of preservation techniques have been proposed. One entails cutting down mature trees and burying them in trenches; in the absence of oxygen, the trees’ decay—and the release of CO2—would be forestalled. Another scheme involves collecting crop residues, like cornstalks, and dumping them deep into the ocean; in

We don’t have any way to capture the greenhouse gases that come from applying it. There’s no equivalent of carbon capture for nitrous oxide. That means I can’t calculate a complete Green Premium for…

That’s called carbon capture and storage, and it involves installing special devices at fossil-fuel plants to absorb emissions. These “point capture” devices have existed for decades, but they’re expensive to buy and operate, they generally capture only 90 percent of the greenhouse gases involved, and power companies don’t gain anything from instal

Worldwide emissions of CO2 are approaching 40 GtCO2 per year. Therefore, to make a real difference in the fight against climate change, NETs must be able to operate on the scale of gigatonnes CO2 per year.
