Comment on A building material that lives and stores carbon
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI’d heard a fairly novel idea about farming trees and burying them as pulp in old mines, I’m sure it’s just ASKING for some kind of wild underground mine fire but … similar concept

I think that wouldn’t work unless the mine is perfectly sealed.
The pulp would still get eaten and digested microorganisms and carbon released to air.
The reason why we have fossil fuels is because of the carbon that didn’t get released to the atmosphere. It got trapped in a hypoxic water/swamps where bacteria and microorganisms couldn’t decompose it.
