Hecturr 1,937 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 hoping they make giga plants of this in most major cities across the globe tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miker 5,683 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I have a Technology background so I would need to see everything including operating costs and details of operation to be convinced about this.The idea sounds wonderful for the environment but most often environmental projects are not played out.

Luc 4,776 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 "Corless said the pilot plant began operations in June and has already captured 10 tonnes of C02." 10 tonnes is an awfully low amount... that's approximately what the average Canadian uses in one year.

Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Don't plants need carbon for photosynthesis? Plants absorb carbon from the atmosphere to build cells stems leaves roots ect. Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to produce energy, it requires sunlight. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

Secondly, if you consider the volume of the total earth atmosphere and then the amount of additional carbon dioxide that human activities add to it, they are gonna need a megalotmanyhuge number of these plants to even have any effect at all on global climate. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

I think that the product is the main goal however to make the thing work. Getting fuel for transportation that they can sell. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to produce energy, it requires sunlight. But if they are taking carbon from it, won't plants be affected? Or is it a small amount?

Sure, if there was some monster huge big x100 way to take out ALL the co2 ... but well... there isn't. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

Economy 52,844 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Innovation not regulation will be true way to help environment. U cant just stop economic growth. If u wanna stop destrucitve CO2 u must innovate alternatives first though im skeptcial on both the economics or impact this coukd actually have. The globe is large and CO2 Density is not THAT HIGH.

Economy 52,844 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Regulation AND innovation... u missed my point. Im not saying u cant regulate but its never a solution. Its like a temporary patch work to help the situation by minimizing until u find solutions to actually fix the problem what u need is innovation to invent solutions innovation created green renewables not regulation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Regulation AND innovation... Lets say that this new technology is good for the economy, creates jobs, makes fuel for cars cheeeeeep...and is profitable .... But wait, the gov. taxes the **** out of it and regulates something to make is unprofitable...ugh........ like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

If the law says that a car should only emit x amount of CO2 per km or less, it will force car companies to be innovative to make more efficient cars (or other fraudulent ways...).
