You’re absolutely right Stuart, but I disagree with your opinion that anammox is completely useless for geoengineering. Geoengineering task is to improve the quality of land, and by improving the quality of waste water that goes into the soil can improve soil quality. Our mind must work in different ways. We must always consider all possibilities when it comes about soil, water and environment.
