Carbon capture is key to countering the climate crisis. Doing this at scale requires putting massive amounts of CO2 somewhere; we suggest putting it to good use by permanently storing it in industrial material.

Our technology was invented by nature. CO2 mineralisation is a natural process that turns carbon dioxide into stone – but as with most geological processes, it takes centuries. Based on 20 years of research, we have found a way to accelerate the process by a factor of more than a million, with minimal energy use. We combine captured carbon with abundant minerals to create a carbon-negative raw material.

Time for CO2 to mineralise

DJ, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivine or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivine can be used to store CO2 absorbed from the atmosphere...

An NL finding made storing 1 million times faster...

DJ-If the technique works will there be enough of the olivine...Can that material be produced in a factory ? Does storage last long enough ? 

It may be a better idea than storing CO2 in old mines or so...(I think?)

China Creates 200 'Monsters' that Transform 100,000 Acres of Desert into Oasis Each Year




DJ, Saudi Arabia is showing a lot of interest and finance for China strategy to turn desert into food production.  With 1/3 of land desert-like, population and deserts still growing new strategies are needed.

It’s a cruel irony that over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, but it’s undrinkable. Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have now modeled the feasibility of a hypothetical system that can capture water vapor from above the ocean surface and condense it into fresh drinking water, at a large scale.

Water scarcity is an ongoing issue that’s projected to only get worse, as climate change makes dry areas even drier. The oceans, home to over 96% of all water on Earth, represents a huge potential reservoir, but desalination is a tricky prospect to scale up thanks to the toxic wastewater it produces.

The team proposes that structures could be built several kilometers offshore to capture air rich in water vapor from above the ocean surface. That air can then be piped back to land and condensed in another unit. This fresh water could then be used for drinking, agriculture, or whatever else a region needs it for. The whole system, according to the scientists, could be powered by offshore wind farms and land-based solar panels.

The researchers evaluated 14 cities around the world, including Abu Dhabi, Rome, Los Angeles and Barcelona, analyzing how much water could feasibly be extracted based on the offshore atmosphere in those locations. This would involve building water vapor-extracting structures standing 100 m (328 ft) tall and 210 m (690 ft) wide.

DJ, on a smaller scale https://www.rainmakerholland.nl/technology/water-to-water/ or https://www.rainmakerholland.nl/technology/water-to-water/ ;

Using a membrane distillation process, water is evaporated under low pressure through a heat pump condensation process. The vapor produced by heating the water then passes through the membrane.

Unlike reverse osmosis, where water with dissolved salts and other solids is forced through the membrane, this membrane only allows water vapor to pass through.

The pores in this membrane are larger than the pores in reverse osmosis membranes, so less pressure, and thus less energy is required.


A major problem for these solutions is funding...Climate problems are a basic reason for pandemics...

The west has to stop its wars ! Try to be constructive NOT neo-colonial !
