I certainly agree with the need to evaluate carbon credit quantification ratio between CO2 uptake/storage time/release. We had two strategies with the Arthrospira (1) integrating the Athrospira biomass into what are relatively poor desert soils in order to provide a limited amount of organic mass, nutrients and carbon storage for at least 3 months or more for the enhanced productivity of desert agriculture and forestry (2) selling the Arthrospira commercially as a food or nutritional supplement. In this case, the CO2 cycle between uptake/storage and release would be less than 2 months. We also need to work out a more defined carbon credit quantification for the sugarcane, bamboo, tropical hardwoods, etc. This is our next project. The bamboo seems promising because of its rapid CO2 assimilation and its ability to be temporarily "sequestered" into building materials for multi-year periods. I realize that trying to establish a commercially viable system is not necessarily going to be conducive to sequestering carbon for a prolonged (century or more) period of time. However, a temporary displacement of atmospheric CO2 is better than none.
