Greg et al., 1) The Perpetual Salt Fountain can be rigged to produce super cooled brine as well as act as desalination and OTEC pumps.
One unique thing about using resources is that this super cool brine production will trap CO2 / CH4 and deposit them as hydrates on the sea floor, if the depth permits. An important ancillary benefit is that it would also allow the OTEC operation to avoid thermal dumping. 2) maximum utilization of carbon requires high-throughput, vast volume capacity, low cost yet long life reactors. That can now be done. 3) The AWL operation can accelerate biorock infrastructure production in support of vast scale grow tank operations. The infrastructure itself can become a significant carbon sink. 4) The atmospheric hydroxyl cycle, using rather simple technology, can be the primary heat sink while accelerating the weathering of atmospheric greenhouse gases that pass through the technology. In summary, growing grow tanks is cheap and easy. Lifting raw nutrients into floating grow tanks is not a problem. The infrastructure is scalable and rapid. Everything is made from the oceans and the bulk of the excess carbon is used in soils and/or consumer goods.
