There was no chance the third and final outing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s premiere intergalactic dysfunctional family was going to bomb, but the comic book blockbuster’s impressive run…

Burying Biomass in Dry Landfills

A simplified version of the biolandfill technology used for agro-sequestration. To keep the biomass dry, it’s necessary to use two layers of high-density polyethylene with a combined thickness up to 4 millimeters. The plastic acts as a water diffusion barrier, allowing less than 1.75 micrometers equivalent water thickness to diffuse through annually. This rate of water diffusion can be accommodated for thousands of years by the dry salt-biomass mixture, which can absorb the water without increasing its own relative…

The Big Business of Burying Carbon

Applicants for EPA carbon-storage permits must persuade the agency that they can contain both the plume of injected carbon dioxide and a secondary plume of saltwater that the CO2 displaces from the rock—what drilling engineers call the pressure pulse. The EPA requires evidence that neither plume will contaminate drinking water while a project is operating and for a default period of 50 years after CO2 injection stops—but the agency can decide to shorten or lengthen that for a particular project. Stream employs a…
