efficacious development thrust of GHG
effects remediation technology is determined as the
development of the
atmospheric carbon dioxide recovery technology. By this criteria then a
remediation technology is any technology that does not only prevents the emission of GHG into the atmosphere
but
actually reverse the presence of GHG in the atmosphere.
Remediation Technologies
Science
The specifics of the removal
of the carbon from the atmosphere of course is expected to be
technology dependent, so of course is irrelevant, so long as the
removal is enabled by the technology. Such removal must take the form of
converting the carbon dioxide through the process chemistry of the
form:
CO2 -> C +
O2
where the carbon is actually
removed from the atmosphere, in consistence with the proposed
outcome of the concept technology template.
This demand, of course, must
consider the consumption of technology, obviously then the
remediation technology must be such that only nonrenewable energy is
consumed for the purposes. The
energy types,
considered within the context of all energy
sources reviews, can not be such as to directly or indirectly
generate and emit GHG into the atmosphere even if differentially.
With respect to the above
defined criteria, there does not seem to exist at the moment, any
remediation technologies, however, such notwithstanding, the development
of such technologies is imperative. There is, of course, the
anticipation that such technology can be developed as an ions
technology.
Even then, certain specifications
can be developed to guide the research and development of such technologies. Very
specially, the technology must include, three base technologies:
The three base technology
components are essential as the delineations now elicit.

The Solar Power Generation
Technology is needed to provide uninterruptible power supply to the
operations, be located within the immediate vicinity of the
operation, and be such as not to consume non-renewable resources to
simply recover consumed resources.
The Gas Pre-processor and
conditioner has the task of managing a large gas blower that
collects surrounding air and blows the gases down a gradient
convergent pipe that enables the collection of large volumes of
carbon dioxide from the ambient air. the air blown into a
preprocessor includes an air filter that preferentially separates
carbon dioxide while re-discharging the rest of the gas back into
the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide separated from the surrounding
air is further treated as required before being feed to the Recovery
Chemical Process for recovery. A technology developed at the Sandia
National Laboratory, Los Alamos has a component that absorbs large
quantities of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, dubbed the
Green Freedom Technology.
The Chemical Gas Process which
conceptually constitutes the core of the technology, performs the
recovery of the carbon dioxide from the feed that is fed into it.
However the Green Freedom Technology, which is a significant
improvement over similar technologies also embodies an electrolytic
process that support the recovery of the carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide is then
finally fed into the technology that actually strips the elemental
carbon from the carbon dioxide gas. The complexity of this
technology, of course, is not known and will depend on the group of
engineers developing the technology. The form of this technology
will evolve with development but is simply required to effect the
stripping of the elemental carbon with regard to the specificity of
the chemistry as defined earlier. Hence, all that is required is
that the technology development be based on a chemistry that
effectively reduces to the earlier-suggested chemistry. On this
basis there is the expectation that there may be various forms of
technologies developed in course of addressing the GHG effects
remediation. The reality of all engineering projects is that no two
groups of engineers coincidentally develop identical or even similar
technology as a solution for the same defined problem.
