PROCESS FOR CREATING CARBON SINKS

摘要

A process for creating a carbon deposit in a pit comprises the steps of: a. depositing a growing medium in the base of the pit; b. allowing or causing water ingress to the pit; c. growing wetland plants in the growing medium to directly sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; d. allowing wetland plants to die back to deliver biomass below the water line; and e. controlling the level of water in the pit such that at any time the surface of the water is a small distance above the growing medium surface.
