ENDING THE ERA OF GLOBAL WARMING

SKYSCRUBBER Systems
Producing Electricity While Reducing Global Warming

slide show

Getting your mind around air's CO2 backlog crisis:  550 billion tons of old CO2 in the air divided by 4 ton elephants = 138 billion CO2 elephants.

  Skyscrubber: The Book (Draft)
(I'm going to fill the chapters with explanations and then try to find someone who can turn those explanations into a readable book.)

I

       0.1*  Introduction  (1,416 Words)
       0.2   E-Book Version 
(Also a downloadable pdf0 (Just explanatory words, no images, diagrams, or links)
       0.3*  Forward  How Global Warming might be ended sooner than we think.
       0.4*
  Inventions - Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention and Skyscraper has a few.

       1.0*  Pulling Global Warming OUT Of The Air  The Mechanics and Chemistry Of Air CO2 Capture.
       2.0*  Carbon Engineering's Air Contactor   Carefully Engineered, Big Enough, And Cheap Enough.
  3   4.0*  Skyscrubber Systems: Producing Electricity Days, Reducing Global Warming Nights  Making good use of every bit of energy.
  4  
5.0 Skyscrubber System Economics and Logistics   Recycling old coal power plants.  CO2 capture adds a new revenue stream.
  5   6.2*  Pilot Skyscrubber Plants  Actions speak louder than words.

  6  
3.0*  TRISO, The Little Reactor That Could  It's nuclear.  So What?  Get over it!
         
  7   6.0*  Mass Market Nuclear   A 286 megaWatt Electricity Generating Reactor In A Parkable Ocean-Going Barge Can Power Up Every Coastal Population In The World.
  8   6.1*  Prototype Reactor Barges  Fast tracking new TRISO nuclear electricity generators on a slow boat from China.  Haiti's abandoned aluminum mine could use it!


II

       7.0    How Suite It Is! The Skyscrubber System Suite Concept     The Suite Of Skyscrubber Systems.
       7.A   TEXT  A. Convert the world's 1,200 largest coal power plants to nuclear to immediately end 30% of all global warming emissions.  
       7.B   TEXT  B. Large barge.  Barge capable of holding 4 600 megaWatt (thermal) reactors to power a 1,000 megaWatt (electrical) steam turbogenerator.

       7.C   TEXT 
C. Repowering Medium Size Natural Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants  Worldwide, there are about 1,400 of these now.

       7.D  
TEXT  D. Small Skyscrubbers to repower the world's 25,000 smallest coal power plants and pull the remaining 70% of annual CO2 emissions from the air.

       7.E   TEXT  E. Simple "As-Available Electricity" Kiln CO2 Capture Facilities  To take advantage of spare nuclear electricity wherever it may be found.
       7.F   
TEXT  F. Power Generating Barges With Air CO2 Capture to preempt the next 1,200 large coal power plants and remove air's 550 billion ton old CO2 BACKLOG.

       7.G   TEXT  G. Carbon-neutral gasoline and oil from air and water  General Atomics and "Green Freedom" vehicle fuels.  So we don't mess up the world again.
       7.H   TEXT
 H. Skyscrubber CO2 Capturing Oxyfuel Powered Kraft Paper Mill  Kraft paper mills are already using some of Skyscrubber's chemistry and equipment.
