Placing them in arid caves/mines would lock the carbon up much longer.

- TeMPOraL 7y agoSo, we could skip the hole drilling part, and set up shop near abandoned mines? That turns the idea from expensive to relatively trivial to do.
- ryanmercer 7y agoIf/where suitable mines exist, railways may still exist and might be feasible from a carbon standpoint with the newer diesel locomotives or using an electric locomotive. That said, you aren't going to make a considerably dent in the CO2 emitted in a given time period doing this. Used in combination with dozens of other things though...
- TeMPOraL 7y agoI'd imagine many such plants deployed around the world. I wouldn't expect it to be anywhere close to a complete solution, but it's the easiest way to start doing carbon sequestration I can think of.
