Scientists and
engineers are involved. This diagram
from a 2009 article in Nature Communications provides an overview.

It identifies
potential sources of carbon from agricultural wastes and forestry activities.
It shows that a combination of oils, fuel gases and char could be produced.
The char portion would be added to
soil sequestering the carbon there.

The anticipated
improvement in soil fertility feeds back into the process and further
enhances primary production of biomass.

|
The stage is set
for an agricultural process which
removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – and improves soil and
agricultural production. Not many global warming solutions provide such a
double benefit.
