[Terrapreta] a braoder theory of torrefaction and TP

[Duane Pendergast]

          That would be a very worthwhile concept to consider Sean.

 

I think I tried to express a thought along those lines to the Canadian
government a few years ago.  I can't find where and how I presented it right
now and you've done a better job of getting the concept across anyway.

Hi Lou, Duane,

 

There is a scale of improving effect from reducing "carbon positive"
activity (conservation), to "carbon neutral" (using biomass renewable
energy), and finally to "carbon negative" (carbon sequestration).  Maybe it
might be worhwhile considering that "carbon credits" could be paid along a
similar graduated scale, as well, making "carbon negative" activities earn
the highest value of "carbon credits" ?

 

What might any of you think of that?  I think it would promote the formation
of Terra Preta, in lieu of others schemes for ACTION to combat Global
Climate Change (GCC).

 

Regards,

 

SKB
