Carbon Sequestration
The principles of carbon sequestration which have been promoted by general science over the past several decades have focused almost principally on the idea of using carbon landfills. Whether that process involves sinking carbon to the bottom of the sea, burying it back underground, or trapping it in mine shafts the eventual result is almost always the same – the cheapest alternative is almost exclusively the alternative that is selected as the preferred strategic approach even when the mechanics of maintaining such systems are historically impossible to achieve. This combined with a variety of deadly impacts should some of these alternatives fail begs the question why we are not looking for better and more economically advantageous solutions.
Rockcliffe’s Carbon Sequestration Research is looking into the decomposition of Carbon Dioxide into its consitituent components and ways and means that the resulting carbon, in its pure form, can be used as building blocks for more commerical purposes such as the development of advanced composite materials for construction which will more permanently sequester CO2 in a way that is manageable and doesn’t require long term management and maintenance systems to monitor the results for extremely harmfull impacts on society and the environment.
