Sentences with phrase «co2 via photosynthesis»

My opinion is that you are wrong on CO2 — producing CO2 is a benefit to all life on Earth — we are after all carbon based life and all that carbon (directly or indiectly) comes from CO2 via photosynthesis.

Not exact matches

«Biomass pulls CO2 from the air via photosynthesis,» says Noah Deich, executive director of The Center for Carbon Removal, «and the capture part prevents that CO2 from escaping back into the atmosphere.»

«Solar - to - fuel system recycles CO2 to make ethanol and ethylene: Efficient, light - powered production of fuel via artificial photosynthesis.»

Living trees, via photosynthesis, take in carbon dioxide (CO2) whereas dead and decaying ones release it.

But also, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, via its leaves, and by the process of photosynthesis converts that to organic (carbon based) compounds.

And outside the energy sector: Biological CO2 capture via photosynthesis and storage in ecosystems (e.g. forests, grasslands, wetlands, oceans) and / or agricultural lands (e.g. soils, biomass); and chemical CO2 capture via enhanced weathering of rocks that natural react (albeit quite slowly) with CO2 in the air.

Instead, ocean life absorbs CO2 during photosynthesis and, while most of the gas escapes within about a year, some of it is transported down into the deep ocean via dead plants, body parts, faeces, and other sinking materials.

2b Atmospheric CO2 is vital to global life via photosynthesis.

The «draw down» may be achieved by using that percentage of carbon from an atmospheric source such as agricultural waste, deliberate agriculture (e.g. azollaculture), or artificial photosynthesis via, for instance, using solar energy to hydrolyze water, and combining the hydrogen with CO2 from the air to produce fuel.

Because a large flux of CO2 is constantly being assimilated into the world as forests via photosynthesis, cutting off its return pathway to the atmosphere forms an effective carbon sink....

The CO2 that is emitted via Respiration and is not reabsorbed via Photosynthesis exits the Cell and the greenhouse and moves into the atmosphere.

The main mechanisms are the conversion of CO2 and water into carbohydrates and oxygen via photosynthesis, and the solution of CO2 in bodies of water — oceans, lakes, reservoirs, rivers etc..

But because the carbon in biofuels is pulled directly from the atmosphere via photosynthesis, it would seem that burning ethanol does not, in and of itself, represent a net source of new CO2 to the atmosphere.
