Separation unit 202 separates components 206 (e.g., algae and components that
promote algae growth such as nutrients in the form of dissolved or particulate matter, etc.) from growth medium 204 and returns these components to algaculture facility 104, while species that promote carbon dioxide capture (e.g., carbonate buffer species, phosphate buffer species, amino acid based buffer species, or other buffer species) are provided via modified growth medium 208 to carbon dioxide capture facility 102.
A few years ago, someone wanted to dump tons of iron dust into the oceans to
promote algae growth.

That makes sense: Too much nitrogen in water
promotes the
growth of plankton, which can block sunlight, and

The researchers found that warm waters and
algae — both of which have become more frequent over the years — tended to precede bird deaths, likely because they
promoted the
growth of botulism toxin - producing bacteria.
Carbon dioxide has been supplied to algal cultivation systems to
promote growth of the
algae.
Carbon dioxide has been supplied to algal cultivation systems to
promote growth of the
algae.
A second general method for cooling the planet involves removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, either via sequestration or CO2 capture, or possibly through ocean iron fertilization to
promote the
growth of CO2 - consuming
algae.
