Re: [geo] Question: In what possible ways can BE- CCS / Biochars be used for the restoration of degraded soils within arid and hyper-arid lands like the Sahara and the Atacama deserts?

Professor: I have worked in Sudan, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe - for a total of about 2 years - but only slightly on biochar topics. I am active now with projects in Namibia and Cameroon, but haven’t been to either. I know Kenya a little from the first (1981) international renewable

Hi Folks, The degree of synergies presented by the MECC method can possibly generate even further useful products. Why not include phosphorus recovery http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140910006209/en/AVA-CO2-Achieves-Breakthrough-Phosphorus-Recovery-Introduces-AVA#.VcK7T_lViko as well

Thanks, Michael. Agree that science is just getting started in conceiving of and testing methods that potentially can complement emissions reduction and help the ocean. But those activities will continue to be stunted by the belief that emissions reduction alone can and will, at this late date,

Yes but the big issue with RCPs (even 2.6) is just as the IPCC underestimated political indifference, they're underestimating technology progress. Renewables are going to leave fossil fuels in the dust over the next 20 years or so, and smart grids, energy storage and demand management will follow

Cush cc List I goofed. I gave below a cite to an arid-region paper by Dr. Stavi (in Israel), but today’s cite of https://webbrain.com/brainpage/brain/C00CB79D-B952-3F63-E801-80048C72FBC2/thought/56642 with inserting the term “biochar” at lower left search-box, leads to this much more

Thanks, Andrew, but I don't share your optimism. Anyone thinking emissions reduction via renewable energy is a slam dunk needs to read this: http://www.theenergycollective.com/schalk-cloete/257351/fundamental-limitations-renewable-energy See also the comments. We now have less than 1000 Gt
