Adam Taylor, CEO of Brilliant Planet, told the publication that removing carbon from the atmosphere is an absolute necessity.
“You might have seen the IPCC report that came out yesterday — if you read the IPCC report, you know we’ve missed the point at which we can just change your behaviors and just decrease CO2 output. We’ve got to remove carbon from the atmosphere, the carbon that we already put up there. It’s going to be critical to have other ways of keeping carbon in the atmosphere at manageable levels to limit global warming.
There are many advantages to Brilliant Planet's carbon-sequestering method. It is achieved without using essential freshwater, is solar-powered, and helps de-acidify the ocean water it does use.“We have to move very large volumes of seawater around, and that uses energy, but we’ve done a lot of design work around running the system extremely energy efficient. So gravity feeds down through most of the system from one pond into the next.
“In the process we do we de-acidify that ocean water. So for every one unit of ocean water we bring in, we de-acidify the equivalent of five units of ocean water back to pre-industrial levels.”getting the price of a ton of CO2 removed from the atmosphere down to a sub-$50 price point. The company currently has a 3-hectare research facility in Morocco but is preparing for the construction of a 30-hectare one while continuing research and development in London.
Algae is the one. It can also be used to decontaminate waste water in the process to making it drinkable.
