Comment on Scientist Discover How to Convert CO2 into Powder That Can Be Stored for Decades
qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 year agoPlants have a fixed life cycle. Unless we found a way to make all plants like bamboo, capable of growing at extreme speed (there are species of bamboo you can observe groing in real time with your naked eye), plants take a set time to absorb a set amount of CO2.
The promise here is to syphon CO2 straight from the atmosphere into a solid state we can store, reuse or dispose of, safely.

I get that, but the title should be “Scientist Discover a New Way to Convert CO2 into Powder That Can Be Stored for Decades”.

They do. Pollen is plant powder. You can also just grind up a tree, but I’ll give you that sawdust is not naturally occurring.

Pollen is not plant powder, its a living organism.
