I would allocate it to a Ocean Fertilization type of project but in the Chesapeake Bay.
For $ 10 Million we can clean up the bay of excess nutrients and increase the Dissolved Oxygen level for 1 to 2 months. This will prove the impact of our fertilization process will have in Oceans. The carbon that is absorbed in the Bay would not be 'sequestered' but the process that would take place in oceans due to our process would be demonstrated. Scientists working on Ocean Fertilization did lab trials and then undertook ocean experiments, skipping the intermediate steps of lakes and estuaries. This gap is to be filled in. best regards Bhaskar On Apr 18, 8:08 pm, Ken Caldeira <kcalde...@carnegie.stanford.edu> wrote: > Folks, > > There is some discussion in DC about making some small amount of public > funds available to support SRM and CDR research. > > In today's funding climate, it is much more likely that someone might be > given authority to re-allocate existing budgets than that they would > actually be given significantly more money for this effort.
