Description

Summary

Until further work on this proposal is completed, please read the following documents:

1) Chemosynthetic production of biomass- Primary production of cellulose and thus biochar/biofuel with secondary production of market protein and CDR (through shell production).

2) REDUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE COUPLED WITH THE OXYHYDROGEN REACTION IN ALGAE- Primary production of micro-algal based biochar/biofuel/food/feed/fertilizer and water.

3) The Gas Exchange of Hydrogen-adapted Algae as Followed by Mass Spectrometry. (Advanced Study of the Above)

4) Alabama Gets First-In-World Carbon-Negative Algae Biofuel- Terrestrial example of photo based carbon negative fuel production empirical work. Chemo based cultivation coupled with marine resources is significantly cheaper. 

5) Cool Planet- The longest established non-algal carbon negative energy operation.

6) Purevision Technologies- Emerging biorefinery concern.

7) Biochar Systems for Smallholders in Developing Countries : Leveraging Current Knowledge and Exploring Future Potential for Climate-Smart Agriculture- World Bank

8)  Water Energy Nexus Full Report July 2014

9) The Intergovernmental Marine Bioenergy and Carbon Sequestration Protocol: Environmental and Political Risk Reduction of Global Carbon Management- International governance scenario.

In brief, the core issues we need to address are germane to multiple CoLab challenges such as EnergyAdaptationGlobal Industry etc.

Thus, this effort will try to address each interest sector through a multiplexed proposal submission. 


What actions do you propose?

Chemosynthetic production of biomass bypasses key limiting factors in photosynthetic based biomass production such as:

1) The use of diurnal/clear weather solar energy inputs

2) The use of expensive photo-bioreactors

Thus, well regulated production means and methods can be deployed both terrestrially and within the oceanic commons. 


Who will take these actions?


Where will these actions be taken?


How will these actions have a high impact in addressing climate change?


What are other key benefits?


What are the proposal’s costs?
