  1. Profitable Solutions to Global Warming and other global Problems John Harrison B.Sc. B.Ec. FCPA TecEco Managing Director

  2. The Correlation Between WIP and Emissions World Industrial Product (deflated world `GDP' in real value - i.e. World physical production). CO2 emissions (in CO2 mass units: Doubling time = 29 years. Data: CDIAC; statistics: GDI. The correlation between the WIP and the CO2 emissions is still however very high.

  3. Efficiency Limitations to Emissions Reduction Total per capita emissions reduction Rate of Per Capita Emissions Reduction Per capita emissions reduction through Pilzer 1st law substitution (Technology change = resource use change) Per capita emissions reduction through thermodynamic efficiency The Future 2008 Conclusion: It is essential that R& D into substitution technologies occurs now in order to ramp up Pilzer first law substitution later and avoid thermodynamic constraints. This is not happening in Australia

  4. Economic Behaviour and Global Homeostasis

  5. Carbon Sink Permanence Carbonate sediment 40,000,000 Gt Sequestration Permanence and time Methane Clathrates 100,000 Gt Soils and Detritus 1600 Gt Fossil Fuels 8,000 Gt Plants 600 Gt

  6. The Techno Process Biosphere Geosphere Detrimental affects on earth systems Waste Take Move 500-600 billion tonnesUse some 50 billion tonnes Materials Manipulate Materials Make and Use Anthroposphere

  7. Size of Carbon Sinks Modified from Figure 2 Ziock, H. J. and D. P. Harrison. "Zero Emission Coal Power, a New Concept." from http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/proceedings/01/carbon_seq/2b2.pdf by the inclusion of a bar to represent sedimentary sinks

  8. Gaia Engineering Process Diagram CO2 CO2 CO2 CO2 Gaia Engineering delivers profitable outcomes whilst reversing underlying undesirable moleconomic flows from other less sustainable techno-processes outside the tececology. Inputs: Atmospheric or industrial CO2,brines, waste acid or bitterns, other wastes Outputs: Carbonate building materials, potable water, valuable commodity salts. Carbon or carbon compoundsMagnesium compounds Carbonate building components Solar or solar derived energy TecEcoKiln TecEco MgCO2 Cycle MgO Eco-Cement MgCO3 Extraction Process 1.29 gm/l Mg.412 gm/l Ca Coal Fossil fuels Oil

  9. Affect of Leakage on Geosequestration "The assumption of exclusive reliance on storage may be an extreme one, however the example illustrates that emphasis on energy efficiency and increased reliance on renewable energy must be priority areas for greenhouse gas mitigation. The higher the expected leakage rate and the larger the uncertainty, the less attractive geosequestration is compared to other mitigation alternatives such as shifting to renewable energy sources, and improved efficiency in production and consumption of energy."
