[Terrapreta] Ice-age anyone? - RWL part 2.

[Duane Pendergast]

Just plain compressed CO2 Greg. It's not my gig, but there has been quite a
lot of R&D here in Alberta to evaluate the likelihood it will stay
underground. Bill Gunter at Alberta Research Council is one of the
researchers taking a lead on this should you wish to do some Googling.

 

Some of it is to be used to help recover more oil. I was actually
peripherally involved in that aspect of it some 40 years ago. I understand
most is simply to be pumped underground to keep it out of the atmosphere.
That's why I comment I'm glad to see a potential use for it as suggested by
Peter Read.

 

Personally, I have a feeling that using it to produce char and build up the
soil might be more beneficial.

 

Sincerely,

 

Duane Pendergast

What form is that CO2 going to be in when pumped underground, and what make
you sure it's going to stay there?

          Good points Peter. It's good to see someone has identified a
positive use for that CO2 we Canadians are preparing to pump underground at
great expense.
