I would like to elaborate on the use of biological organism and

Hi Ken and all:
I have a comment on the terminology 'carbon removal'. By using only
'removal' it can miss the other important half of the story: (semi-
permanent) storage of removed CO2. Experience in many carbon offset,
biofuel and other ideas have shown that FULL carbon accounting is
essential f
Hi Ken, John:
Disposal certainly describes well the fact that CO2 is a waste
product. On the other hand, we are likely in the long haul for any CO2
that is removed, given the extremely long time scales of the CO2
uptake by the natural processes. As a result we may not be able to
treat the 'dispose

Of course, this is just nomenclature so there is no "right" answer.
Capture from power plants is commonly referred to by "carbon capture and
storage" which I think should really be "carbon capture and disposal" since
the attempt is to dispose of the carbon (storage generally implies intent to

Hi Ning Zeng,
We have discussed this terminology some time ago, and came up with
"Carbon stock management" - I am indebted to the late Peter Read for
this term. (Sadly he died last week.) This is the term we used in our
open letter to Dr Pachauri [1]. We have tended to put CCS, when at the
We did have some earlier discussion on the choice of terms such as
Carbon Stock Management (CSM).
Terms like "disposal" and "storage" don't do enough justice to the
possibility of using air captured carbon for industrial and
agricultural purposes. I know, some of such applications will cause
CO2 t
