Trees absorb while growing.
Reach "max CO2"
At which point you need to cut down the trees
and plant the next generation.
You somehow store the trees so they will not have any
risk of releasing the CO2 again.(like if they burn)
or at least that is was Neal Stephenson wrote in his latest book.
(fiction is always great for scientific knowledge)
- arbuge 4y agoBuilding with the lumber from them is one way of storing them. Even that is not infinite though, though it could buy you a lot more time until renewables and possibly CCS become more viable.
- ThinkBeat 4y agoTrue. As long as you can keep the houses from catching fire. I do admit we have a lot of new knowledge and technologyy that radically improves fire security
