Efficient Carbon Capture by Growing and Subsequent Separation of Wood

Abstract: Our world has the problem of global warming. Physically, that warming is explained as a consequence of the global increase of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Therefore, the problem of carbon capture arises. In fact, worldwide, wood does capture huge amounts of carbon dioxide. However, in nature, organisms transform the wood back to carbon dioxide. Consequently, in free nature, woods have only a strongly reduced net effect of carbon capture. In this paper, a possible separation of wood is analyzed. Based on present - day techniques of forest operation, the cost efficiency of wood separation is investigated. Possible efficient methods for carbon capture by growing and subsequent separation of wood are presented.
