The marine engineer expert Mark Capron of PODenergy has a related but different scheme. His plan is to establish giant “forests” of kelp seaweed at the surface of the ocean. These would be harvested and placed into plastic “stomachs” – essentially large plastic bags – suspended in the sea. Natural bacteria in the stomachs would digest the kelp, breaking it down into CO2 and methane. The two gases would be separated, with the CO2 sent to the deep ocean for permanent storage and the methane piped to the surface for use as a renewable heating and cooking fuel.
