... major issues with this approach are its high cost and the long-term post operation liability. The author has previously proposed an alternate approach of pure offset the charcoal sequestration, which essentially employs conversion of dead plant material into inert solid carbon. Charcoal sequestration...

... and gasifier temperature were investigated. Basically, the conversion to inert gases, principally hydrogen and carbon dioxide, at high pressure, was sufficiently high to make the process technically feasible in depleted light oil reservoirs. Furthermore, the economics of this novel enhanced oil recovery...

... will be necessary. As previously shown, preservation of the produced biomass (via conversion to charcoal) is a critical step in making the bio- sequestration work. The benefits of a two step charcoal approach, unparalleled by other methods, include permanence of sequestration, ready verification, the global...

Microbial oxidation of sulphide can occur through metabolic activity of different microorganisms including phototrophic and chemolithotrophic bacteria. The objective...
