    Where does the CO2 go when it dies?

    Look…man…the whole thing about carbon is the carbon cycle, right?

    Well we are breaking that cycle by digging up long-sequestered carbon (in the form of long-chain hydrocarbons aka “fossil fuels”) and burning them up in alarming quantities.

    At absolute best, this material will be carbon neutral.

    We need more phytoplankton…when that consumes CO2 and dies, most of it sinks to the ocean depths forever, instead of coming up to the atmosphere.

    Hydrogel and algae.

    I wonder about the upkeep, fungus, infections, if you use this in buildings?

    is alive, grows and actively removes carbon from the air.

    And gives the carbon back after it dies.
