With population at 7 billion, projected to grow to 9 billion loss of any
nutrients from soil is not a good idea, so transporting crop residue
containing nutrients out to ocean may not be accepted as a matter of
principle, irrespective of the numbers.
There are many HNLCs in Ocean, so adding more
Regarding biochar, I would like Ron or others to provide a total estimate of
the total amount of carbon that could be sequestered globally in agricultural
soils only, not including any forest soils, with peer reviewed citations please.
BECCS carbon analysis depends on whether efficient and
Surely CO2 from BECCS doesn't need to be stored locally. Fuels (inc wood)
are already shipped globally. Why should biofuel for BECCS be any
different? It would make sense to take fuel by sea or rail to the best
storage locations, or to pipe the CO2 to the same. Indeed, shipping
compressed CO2 like
Sounds good, but it's another hurdle. Let's see what the math says.

Ron and list,
You might be interested in the ECOR report ‘Enhanced carbon storage in the
ocean’ that can be found at: *
http://www.oceanicresources.org/ecor-news/ocean-sequestration-of-carbon-working-group-report/attachment/ecor_wg_report_4-6_clean/
The report mentions Phytoplankton 22 times and cyanobacteria 15 times.
Diatoms are not mentioned even once.
Diatoms are responsible for about 40 to 50% of primary production in
oceans.
No one appears to have even attempted to quantify Cyanobacteria's share.
Diatoms sink on death and hence
Sorry if this is old news. Maybe it's archived. Gentle Experimentation??

Your message below has caused me to delay responding to other messages in this

one I will now follow up on closely. I found (p 61 (or 63/68) ) that Professor

This being exclusively about BECCS, I answer this before going to Stuart's two
earlier messages today re biochar and CROPS. Few inserts - mainly in Andrew's
message.

It seems best to at least start to answer both of your responses at one time.
So I bring here your earlier response today with a few inserts: You wrote (with
