Friedberg describes a system using seven to nine plant enzymes in tanks to make starch from atmospheric carbon.
“And you put them together in a bunch of tanks, and then they can take carbon out of the atmosphere and they can actually make starch.”
Friedberg proposes engineered seaweed that sinks to ocean depths could rapidly decarbonize atmosphere using existing technology.
“If we could build an algae or a seaweed from scratch or using some basis and use software to resolve what's the right sort of seaweed to create, That will grow like crazy in the oceans.”
