Introduction and Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion directly contribute to ris ing atmospheric CO2 levels, which in turn are likely linked to global climate change. The need for efficient and economical technologies to rapidly sequester point source production of carbon dioxide has become both an urgent and widespread technical need. The significant adoption of any mitigation technology requires a measurable return to end-users. An example is coupling enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with deep well injection of CO2, though to be economically viable, the carbon dioxide source must be co-located with the oil fields. We propose an integrated sequestration approach in which agricultural waste products are used to produce hydrogen, a renewable fuel, and a carbon sequestering soil amendment (char) as a valuable co-product.
