The 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.
