CO2 Quantification

[Brennan J.]

I certainly agree with the need to evaluate carbon credit
quantification ratio between CO2 uptake/storage time/release. We had
two strategies with the Arthrospira (1) integrating the Athrospira
biomass into what are relatively poor desert soils in order to provide
a limited amount of organic mass, nutrients and carbon storage for at
least 3 months or more for the enhanced productivity of desert
agriculture and forestry (2) selling the Arthrospira commercially as a
food or nutritional supplement. In this case, the CO2 cycle between
uptake/storage and release would be less than 2 months. We also need
to work out a more defined carbon credit quantification for the
sugarcane, bamboo, tropical hardwoods, etc. This is our next project.
The bamboo seems promising because of its rapid CO2 assimilation and
its ability to be temporarily "sequestered" into building materials
for multi-year periods. I realize that trying to establish a
commercially viable system is not necessarily going to be conducive to
sequestering carbon for a prolonged (century or more) period of time.
However, a temporary displacement of atmospheric CO2 is better than
none.
