“Thought I read somewhere it does the work of 160 trees.”

I think you misread.

That little-bitty thing in the upper left?
Or the bigger purple thing more toward the center?

Exactly!!!

The piping involved in such a project will not last very long while exposed to that man made carbonic acid.

It will corrode through almost an eighth inch or more per year.

Perpetual replacement of the entire process equipment will be necessary.

They could be involved in a reforestation project and it would have much less total impact.

Low tech solutions are not sexy, but they sure work well and with minimal imput.

I thought it might be a giant Venus Flytrap. The last one I saw ate the gardener.

For years we’ve been using CO2 injection to flood older depleted zones and still use CO2 for fracing. We started flooding field with CO2 back in the 70’s. I believe the first was a couple of counties over called Scurry County. Their SACROCK unit was flooding a field there. Carbonic Acid dissolves limestone. The formations in deep underground caves are caused by Carbonic Acid dissolving limestone leaving deposits of Calcium Carbonate.
