RE: [geo] Could Consett slag heaps have an unlikely role to play in combating climate change? - Chronicle Live

The rapid capture of CO2 over heaps of slags is easily to explain (and has been done for a comparable situation by Renforth). If you have a slag heap, and it is landscaped, it gets a layer of soil above it. The CO2 content of the soil atmosphere is easily a hundred times larger than the CO2

Hi Folks, This geoengineering governance study effort is greatly welcomed. I would like to encourage this important team, however, to broaden their scope to include biochar and marine biomass farming as equally important as the 3 geoengineering methodologies of the group's current focus.
