  • Transforming energy and transportation into primary engines for reversing global warming and eliminating ocean acidification
    Publication number: 20140217017
    Abstract: The invention encompasses multi-stage naturally amplified global-scale carbon dioxide capture systems combining basic capture from (CC—carbon capture) clean-coal-fired and CC gas-fired power plants, natural-gas reformation systems, cement plants, outdoor air, home and building flues, incinerators, crematoriums, blast-furnaces, kilns, refineries, factories, oil gasification systems and coal gasification systems which yield concentrated carbon dioxide, with a collective, globally distributed capture capacity of up to 3 GtC/yr, feeding the captured carbon dioxide into land-based invention stage-1 bioreactors for rapid, selective, high capacity conversion to a high-density, fast-sinking marine algae by means of accelerated photosynthesis and/or coccolithogenesis (calcification) consuming carbon dioxide as the algae bloom, and transporting the stage-1 bioreactor-produced algae to seaports for seeding the oceans at regular intervals in stage-2 operations-at-sea to produce naturally amplified 14 GtC/yr algal blooms
