Abstract
The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, devices, and systems related to biomass composting and carbon dioxide capture. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions, methods, devices, and systems for the production of high purity carbon dioxide from a wide variety of biomass feedstock in a more efficient and cost-effective manner than conventional technologies.
Claims26
A method for composting and capturing CO2, the method comprising:
- inputting a biomass feedstock, one or more additives, and an initial gas composition into one or more bioreactors;
- incubating the biomass feedstock and the initial gas composition during an incubation time;
- and
- obtaining a compost and an extracted gas composition comprising CO2.
The method of any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the biomass feedstock is pre-treated, and wherein pre-treatment comprises steam treatment, chemical treatment, biochemical treatment, and/or mechanical treatment. oi The method of any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the initial gas composition comprises one or more of N2, CO2, and/or O2.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
