Meet The Radical Berkeley Artist Whose Company Is Turning Trash Into Electricity The Power Pallet was born in the brain of Jim Mason, a 46-year-old engineer-anthropologist and Burning Man installation artist. It is based on an arcane and mostly forgotten process known as gasification, which turns organic junk into gas.   |

Storing Carbon in Earth Carbon sequestration is capturing carbon dioxide, either from the atmosphere or emission streams, and storing it in reservoirs, such as plants or soils. Carbon dioxide could be converted to solid chemicals or injected into the deep ocean. Though there are risks, the potential pay-off is enormous. |

One proposed method for reducing how much of the greenhouse gas ends up in the atmosphere is to store the carbon dioxide underground. Natural reservoirs of the gas exist, suggesting that it is feasible. |
