[Terrapreta] The Charcoal Vision

[Michael Bailes]

BIG Numbers?!
Assuming the United States can annually produce 1.1 x 109 Mg of biomass from
harvestable forest and crop lands,
 national implementation of The Charcoal Vision would generate enough
bio-oil to displace 1.91 billion barrels of fossil fuel oil per year or
about 25% of the current U.S. annual oil consumption.
 The combined C credit for fossil fuel displacement and permanent
sequestration, 363 Tg per year, is 10% of the average annual U.S. emissions
of CO2–C.

What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!
how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how
express and admirable! in action how like an angel!
