This Artificial Leaf Turns Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Into Fuel

There is no doubt that climate change is a very serious (and worsening) problem. According to a recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), even if all the industrialized nations of the world became carbon neutral overnight, the problem would continue to get worse. In short, it’s not enough to stop pumping megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere; we also have to start removing what we’ve already put there.

Back when I first found the SSSF, there was a lot of talk about geosequestration. Is that still a possibility?

Sure, in fact the plan was that emissions from gas extraction projects would be sequestrated.

Unfortunately they forgot that if they didn’t pay the companies for doing it, and didn’t impose any penalties for not doing it, there was a pretty good chance they wouldn’t do it.

Also CO2 is being sequestered all the time, mostly through plants growing. It’s just not happening fast enough.
