A research vessel is currently sailing to the Galapagos Sea to seed an area larger than Puerto Rico with tonnes of iron, to stimulate the CO2 sequestration into the deep ocean. However, such iron fertilization is also a way of generating carbon offsets, whereby CO2 polluters can buy \u201cecosystem restoration credits\u201d and shrink their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Full article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2007\/06\/070608142214.htm\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color:red;\">Nature <span style=\"color:blue;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/ref\/oil\/or\/or.html\">gave us<\/a><\/span> oil from algae; perhaps <span style=\"color:blue;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/ref\/story\/story.html\">we should try<\/a><\/span> Nature&#8217;s way again<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are at: Oilgae Blog.
