Carbon capture?

By on 6 months ago

http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/carbon-dioxide-capture-1206.html
A new MIT study shows that, at least for the foreseeable future,  proposals to capture carbon from the air are not realistic. Are you agree with this assertion?

    I recall not too many years ago the attempt was made by a number of scientists to devise machines to increase the amount of CO2 in the air, because this would increase plant growth and lead to a more lush, prosperous planet with more food for all.

    Thankfully for us, all of these attempts to mess with our planet are pathetically tiny and meaningless. In fact the CO2 and temperature levels are self regulating, and move up and down quite beyond our control.

    It is up to us to learn to live with the eternal, natural climate swings of nature.

    Under an open pounds or a semi continuous culture system, this reality is correct; mainly due to two facts: low CO2(g) diffusion into culture medium and a very high culturing area are required. But with continuous culture systems, required culture area can be reduced at least by 10 times; culture time can be reduced from 3 - 4 weeks to 3 - 4 days and productivity increased 1.5 - 2 times. All these improvements do it viable Carbon Capture.
