[Terrapreta] ch4 vs co2 issues in biochar sequestion

[Duane Pendergast]

Right on Michael,

 

Still, the production of methane from landfills and other sources is a great
source of emission reduction credits.  The CDM and JI initiatives of Kyoto
are full of related projects. If the Kyoto process ever gets going it will
be difficult to establish a rational policy which would be encouraging to
the Terra Preta movement.  I published a short paper which mentions the
anomaly (peer- reviewed yet) a while ago.  The directly relevant portion is
in Section 3.3 - "Landfill Gas" of  "Kyoto and Beyond: Development of
Sustainable Policy"  at the top of the following page.

 ch4 (methane) production, a much
worse green house gas than co2.  this seems to me a very important 
part of the terra preta argument


 

Methane does not last anywhere near as long as CO2 


Worse no way

But there is no reason for anerobic organic human waste. It could all be
safely pyrolised  and turned into carbon and energy.
