Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, are proposing burying salted biomass in a dry environment within an engineered biolandfill as a solution to sequester carbon that has been photosynthetically fixed by cultivated plants. We’re claiming that proper engineering can solve 100% of the climate crisis, at manageable cost.
