A Greener Life

APRIL 1, 2022

It’s now widely acknowledged that to avoid catastrophic climate change we’ll need to physically remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Yet the technologies needed to do this, collectively known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), remains nascent, underfunded and largely unregulated.

Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases found in the Earth’s atmosphere, accounting for 76% of global greenhouse gas emissions according to published reports. Any effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will undoubtedly rely heavily on reducing the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Trees are very efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. Their payback period can be as short as six months, Now here is a luminous idea.

However, that was written in 2007 – 15 years ago! This means that there is an upward surface flux of IR around (~398 W/m 2 ), while the outward flux at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is roughly equivalent to the net solar radiation absorbed (~240 W/m 2 ). Step 1: There is a natural greenhouse effect.

Within this broad category, the parties have included a range of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) activities, which seek to use the ocean to uptake and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The parties to the London Convention and Protocol first began looking at mCDR back in 2007.
