Sequestration

[Muddyroads]

Thinking about the almost inevitable agriculture bashing that we’re likely to face next week, I’ve been wondering how many industries have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
I can only think of agriculture and forestry, have I missed some?

Yes ....

Drax and others who are going to “carbon capture and store” their emissions

Fantastic

 

[primmiemoo]

Some fisheries? Thinking about seaweeds and/or oysters and mussels?

A few years back there was a chap, Steve something I reckon, who had the exhaust pipe of his big tractor pumping the fumes down the legs of his cultivator and into the ground.

I can’t remember the main reason for him doing it, could have been this very thing - reducing emissions, but surely there could be some mileage in his idea.

Bit difficult as more people move to direct drilling, but maybe could still be done to an extent.

Wasn’t that to put the sulphur back into the soil ?

He we go!!!

I don’t know, but if you’re burying sulphur along with all the other crud then surely it’s a good thing.

Which begs the question that a smoky tractor is actually sequestering more carbon per litre of fuel burnt than a clean burning tractor, as smoke is unburnt carbon, not carbon dioxide.

Nitrous Oxide I thought.

So would a modern tractors be adding urea as well.

I’ve been wondering how many industries have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide.

Lemonade producers ?

An ad with more urban myths attached to it than most.

Only if the bottles never get opened. Perhaps then it becomes a form of “carbon capture”?!

Steve Heard or Hird depending on which part of the article you read .

Steve Heard. He's left farming now to pursue other enterprises, not sure what they are.

You can drill holes in the ground and inject it or foam it into concrete

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Maybe he was on to something

All well and good until someone lets it out……not easy putting the genie back in the bottle then.

............aye, and allegedly it's coming past here to pick up some more from the steelworks and then on to the refineries on the Humber bank for a bit more and then out into the North Sea......

I don't know why they don't put it on all them trains..........

............ that are running back to Immingham empty after taking all them Canadian wood chips from the docks to Drax
