Cars are far from the only potential consumer. Sure, you might also use some of the hydrogen to power cars with fuel cells. Or you use it to charge EVs. Or you use the ammonia directly for grid electricity and heating. Or industrial process

You probably need relatively little water compared to other processes that evaporate/drain it (agriculture) or use it for run-through cooling (power plants). Even an ocean tanker full of water wouldn't make much of a dent into the

There's at least another 1000% to squeeze out by using more lines of code at the compiler side. Look at the wasm movement that wants to bring highly optimized intransparent code blobs to the client side and web servers written in rust

Intensive farming only happens when the material is used in a profitable way. Growing things only to dump them in the oceans is only profitable with subsidies or carbon taxes. Extensive farming would likely have the natural rate of sequestr

From the article: > All in all, super-powered seaweeds could sequester around 173 million metric tons (190 million tons) of carbon each year, about as much as the annual emissions of the state of New York. It's not that much in co
