Ron Meador from MinnPost offers up an analysis of several geoengineering solutions to alter the earth's climate and some of the unintended consequences. One of the more intriging plans from Global Thermostat is to use large towers placed all over the globe to break carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon. Only 2 trillion dollars and 30 years of filtering are required for this to work.
Bill Gates has been sponsoring research on carbon capture. The goal is to get the cost of capture under $100 per ton. Estimates for the current cost range up to around $600 per ton. Three other companies aside from Global Thermostat: Global Research Technologies, Global Engineering, Kilamanjaro Engineering are working on possible solutions.
This report is an update to my earlier posts on geoengineering and capturing and using carbon dioxide.
