Definition Climate Farming

Climate farming uses agricultural means to keep carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses from escaping into the atmosphere. Like organic farming, climate farming maintains biodiversity and ecological balance on productive, argicultural land. But climate farmers like Hans-Peter Schmidt go a step further and covert leftover organic mass into biochar, a solid carbon compound that can improve soil quality. Biochar production also creates a kind of gas that can then be burned to help generate power. A climate farm could grow food, generate power, and help keep carbon out of the air.

Climatefarming – Pour une agriculture durable

von Hans-Peter Schmidt

Le climatefarming est souvent décrit comme une méthode agricole au moyen de laquelle du CO2 est prélevé de l’atmosphère et stocké de façon stable dans le sol sous forme de carbone. Ceci pourrait permettre de freiner le changement climatique. Mais le climatefarming, c’est également un concept écologique durable pour l’agriculture du future, qui produira aussi bien des denrées alimentaires que de l’énergie et de l’air propre, encouragera la biodiversité et protégera le paysage.

Au travers de leurs feuilles, les plantes prélèvent du dioxyde de carbone contenu dans l’air et le transforment à l’aide de la lumière, de substances minérales et de l’eau en molécules carboniques. Lorsque la plante meurt ou pourrit, ou si elle est mangée et digérée, les molécules longues de carbone sont de nouveau scindées. Ce processus libère de l’énergie et donc du carbone qui, composé à plus de 99% de CO2, s’évapore dans l’atmosphère. (en savoir plus ...)

Investors Sought To Back Cleanest Wood Burning Stove On The Planet

Investors Sought To Back Cleanest Wood Burning Stove On The Planet

Unforgettable Fire, LLC, manufacturer of the Kimberly(TM) gasifier wood stove, 
seeks investors to bring second wood stove to market. 
The re-engineered Katydid(TM) gasifier wood stove is believed 
to be the cleanest wood stove on the planet.




BURTON, WA / ACCESSWIRE / April 28th, 2014 / Just as inventor Roger Lehet finalized
preparations to take his second invention, the Katydid™ gasifier wood stove to an EPA lab
for certification testing, the Environmental Protection Agency moved to change its federal
emission standards from the current 7.5 grams per hour to the proposed 1.3 grams per hour.
Initially distraught with the new hurdle before him, Lehet took his Katydid(TM) gasifier wood
stove back to the drawing board.
In last week’s tests, Lehet’s re-engineered non-catalytic Katydid(TM) prototype produced a
shockingly-low 0.366 grams per hour particulate emissions at its lowest burn rate,
the point at where wood stoves typically output their highest emissions.
Yes — that’s one third of a gram per hour, well below the proposed EPA target of 1.3 grams per hour.
 "If our production models can reproduce the test results from our Katydid(TM) prototype
(and we believe that they can) we have developed the cleanest wood burning stove on the planet
- and we have done so without the use of catalytic elements," Lehet emphasized.

Wasserdampf als Schlüsselfaktor für die Klimaerwärmung Positive Rückkopplung verstärkt CO2-Wirkung um das Doppelte

„In Bezug auf das Klima ist der Wasserdampf der ‚Big Player‘ in der Atmosphäre.“

Wasserdampf ist das häufigste Treibhausgas auf der Erde, sein Anteil an der globalen Erwärmung war allerdings umstritten. Jetzt ist es Wissenschaftlern mithilfe von Satellitendaten gelungen, den wärmespeichernden Effekt des Gases genauer als zuvor zu bestimmen. Wie sie in der Fachzeitschrift „Geophysical Research Letters“ berichten, hat Wasserdampf demnach eine weitaus wichtigere Rolle im Klimawandel als bisher angenommen.
