The Humble Tree

Introduction

The aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda has been truly tragic as the situation has descended into total chaos, we've known the effects of climate change for decades now. The climate is changing, It was bound to happen, whether humans intervened or not. 

So if we want to survive, we need to do something profoundly unnatural. We need to maintain the climate in it's current state. And we'll do it by conducting the greatest geochemistry experiment in the history of the world. Some call it geo-engineering. 

In these desperate times we may have to call upon desperate measures, including any number of proposed geoengineering projects. The solution may simply involve the improvement of an existing "carbon capture" technoloy. The humble tree.





Why do we need this kind of technology in our country?
Our country is facing a climate change. To avoid dangerous climate change, the global average temperature rise must be capped at 2oC relative to pre-industrial times. To achieve that, we need this kind of technology in order to  help reduce to almost zero the emissions released into the atmosphere from power plants and industrial plants here in Philippines.

How helpful this kind of technology in our country?
This kind of technology will help our country to capturing CO2 produced by large industrial plants in the Philippines, compressing it for transportation and then injecting it deep into a rock formation at a carefully selected and safe site, where it is permanently stored.


Advantages of The Humble Tree:
  • Reduce Emissions
  • Less CO2 released into the atmosphere from the plant (factory/power station) 
  • Permanently stored
  • Secure and Safe
Disadvantages
  • Installing of Carbon Capture Technology Power Plants need to be in a large area
  • Extra capital cost to install the carbon capture storage system - The Humble Tree
  • Extensive mining operations necessary, which will have environmental impact.
  • Large volumes of materials required.




If our "CORRUPT" government can afford and has a capital that can build a project like this, It will very useful to our country imagine it can reduce carbon dioxide that release into the atmosphere from the plant such as factory or a power station from industries.
