(First let me say that sequestration is good - no matter the justification - elaborotation if requested). The problem is that plants collect CO2 - the highest oxidized carbon aton and bring it back into the system. It would be more energy efficient to leave it as a higher energy hydrocarbon than to combust it completely. When we take more energy to create bio-oil that we realize as a result, then no amount of government grants and supplements can make the economics work.<BR/> The Zone - www.howdt.com/blogDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361304171981838568noreply@blogger.com
