Mission 2013 Team Projects
Team 1: Science of climate change – Greenhouse gases,
ocean chemistry,atmospheric chemistry,carbon cycling,
system dynamics— positive and negative feedbacks
Biofeedbacks
Team 2: Power generation capture--oil and gas
“Clean coal” technology - capture,
Storage and transportation
Economics-
Implementation---how soon??
Team 3: Non-point-source emissions: direct capture
Feasibility, thermodynamics, economics
Team 4: Geological sequestration: A)
Deep Reservoir Storage, Saline aquifers, Seabed
Where?
Timescales? How permanent?
Other??
Team 5: Geological sequestration B) Mineral reactions—
carbonation of basalt, peridotite
Engineered sequestration--cement etc…
Biological sequestration-managed mega-plantations
Team 6: Ocean Storage of CO2 and
disposal in sub ice cap lakes as solid ice
Long-term and short term risks
Feasibility
Team 7: China and India (case studies of developing countries) -
sustainable development?
Team 8: Risk and financing - project finance, insurance, viability
Risk and regulation - law, precautionary principle,
intergenerational equity
Contingencies, International treaties
