Solve for X: Mike Cheiky on Negative Carbon Liquid Fuels
(Solve for X/CoolPlanet Energy Systems) Solve for X is a forum to encourage and amplify technology-based moonshot thinking and teamwork.
The fact is that plants have a carbon-negative phase – a time during which they remove carbon from the atmosphere. But they give it back in another phase, unfortunately. What if there was a way to take plant waste (like corn husks) and turn it into bio fuels? What if this also removed carbon from our atmosphere? What if the same process also produced a substance that would help turn deserts back into productive crop land? What if this process could be done on an industrial scale but also could be made self-contained in a small village so that farmers all over the world could get the economic benefits of producing bio fuels with their agricultural waste and simultaneously help clean our atmosphere? Too good to be true?
Mike Cheiky is the President and Founder of CoolPlanet Energy Systems, which is developing carbon negative fuels. WATCH VIDEO READ MORE and MORE and MORE (Reuters) and MORE (DomesticFuel.com)
