She checked the historical records and in 2011 began surveying the Mara River annually, measuring the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen content of carcasses; counting the numbers of scavengers; testing water quality; and capturing fish for chemical analyses of the sources of their nutrients.

Tests from one to 50 atmospheric pressures showed the Rice compound captured a fifth of its weight in carbon dioxide but no measurable amount of methane, Barron said, and the material did not degrade over many absorption / desorption cycles.

The comment, made during a Jan. 17 interview with the editorial board of The San Francisco Chronicle, essentially explains how the kind of cap and trade mechanism sought by both Mr. Obama and Senator John McCain (the latter at least in his platform, if not on the stump) would make coal combustion ever more costly (unless the world finally gets serious about investing in large - scale testing and deployment of systems for capturing and burying carbon dioxide).

One of the technologies the scenarios took as necessary was rapid global adoption of systems that capture and store carbon dioxide from power plants — none of which have been tested at anything remotely close to a scale the atmosphere would notice.

The Breakthrough team warns that while deployment of today's technologies is vital, if money for deployment is included in the $ 150 - billion pie, that dangerously reduces the amount of money for laboratories pursuing vital advances on photovoltaics or energy storage and for big tests of technologies that must be demonstrated at large scale — like capturing carbon dioxide from power plants.

«The reality of any technology development, particularly in the energy space, is it's very difficult to move technologies into the marketplace without some sort of push,» said Walker Dimmig, spokesperson for NET Power, a company now testing carbon capture technology at its natural gas plant in Texas.
