PLANETARY REGULATION OF
GREENHOUSE GASES BY CHANGING
MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
PRACTICE: A COMMONSENSE
APPROACH.
PRESENTATION AT AMERICAN
CHEMICAL SOCIETY “GREEN
CHEMISTRY SYMPOSIUM” JULY 16TH
2012.
Integrated System
Aliens solution to global
warming.
 1) Fossil fuels (carbon positive) getting
  low, planetoid getting hot; inhabitants substitute
  biomass such as dried leaves (carbon neutral) for
  fossil fuels. Sea & boreal forest (spring blooms)
  remove 3ppm. CO2 per year
 2) Development of solar/wind/tidal/geothermal-
  powered electrolytic cells that store electricity as
  hydrogen or other exothermic component.
 3) Biomass charred & spread on fields. Planet
  becomes carbon negative. 1ppm.CO2 per year
  removed per year. In 25 years planetoids CO2
  normalizes.
A sustainability model, for the regulation of greenhouse gases by municipal planning, is
proposed:

1)An incremental tax on carbon positive fuels (c=c (highest),> c-c bond > c-h bond
   (lowest) .

2) The replacement or neutralization of carbon positive (fossil) fuels by carbon neutral
ones (essentially the waste stream, hydrogen & other means of energy storage).

3) The reuse and/or sequestration of waste energy and unused solar energy to the limits
imposed by thermodynamics.

4)Waste can be "valorized" by the recycling of metals, plastics, and construction debris.
Food waste & sewage could be used for energy & fertilizer. Further valorization may
occur if biomass can be used as a CO2 sequestrant (biochar or converted by gasification
to syngas, then into plastics).
The sustainable management framework is based on several models including:
a) The concept of a symbiotic protist cell containing chloroplasts

b) A “medieval model”; a “heterotrophic” urban area is sustained by
surrounding "autotrophic" rural areas - using waste photosynthate
(straw, stover, dung, etc) as major energy and recycling material resource.

c) A lunar base; where no gas can leave or enter, and the whole base functions
as a photosynthetic recycling machine.

If each industry, household, individual and municipality could make use of their
own & each others waste and waste energy streams, then sustainability, self
sufficiency, and avoidance of climate change could be accomplished one city at
a time. Essentially city & state (municipality)become an entropy reversal (or
sustainability) machine by the simple bookkeeping of elements such as C,N & P
(and H2O) & linking the movement of these elements to the economic system.
However this will not be easy & would involve changes to the "value" system. If
successful, waste valorization could be linked to social valorization & "wasted
people" given meaningful work.
Alternate Energy Solutions
       To Global Warming
 Solar – photovoltaic or steam based
    turbine generators or high temp.
    disassociation of H2O
   Wind – generators
   Geothermal - steam generators
   Waste – syngas via steam reforming
    or “anaerobic” combustion – Gas
    Turbine or Fischer Tropsch to
    gasoline, H2 etc.
   Various problems associated with
    each approach however each
    approach is “carbon neutral”
Some definitions of
valorization
 In German language, the general meaning of "Verwertung"
  is the use or application of something (an object, process or
  activity) so that it makes money, or generates value, with
  the connotation that the thing validates itself and proves its
  worth when it results in earnings, a yield. Thus, something
  is "valorized" if it has yielded its value. Similarly, Marx's
  specific concept refers both to the process whereby a
  capital value is conferred or bestowed on something, and
  to the increase in the value of a capital asset. (Wilkipedia)
 a stabilizing or fixing of prices, usually by government
  action
 a conferring of value upon something
Valorization of Bone &
sewage sludge
   Perhaps the best example of potential valorization is provided by bones from
    the food waste stream & phosphatic sludge from wastewater plants.
   Phosphate is presently mined in enormous quantities from the rapidly depleting
    phosphate rock reserves of (mainly) North Africa) for fertilizer. Until all the rock
    has been mined out, a bone – collecting, phosphate reclamation industry cannot
    compete in price with companies exploiting the fossil phosphate rock due to
    “economies of scale” & amounts of labor involved. Implications are that
    recycling companies cannot compete well with companies exploiting
    concentrated natural resources. (Unless the resource is very valuable such as the
    rare metals used in electronics).
   Essentially “Laissez Faire” in its present form, compels us to “trash the planet”.
   Hence municipal subsidies based on the “waste tipping fee” might be deployed
    in element & resource recycling & would “valorize” these materials. The flow of
    money out of a community to pay for imported raw materials would be
    staunched. Eventually it might be possible to privatize municipal recycling
    industries ; especially if the raw materials are linked to local manufacturing.
By monetizing the flow of energy & resources from the waste stream , sunlight &
other forms of alternate energy (by the printing of scrip linked to the creation
joules of fixed energy) & similar to food stamps in mode of distribution, it may
be possible to create a viable new currency that supports an alternative economy
similar to that of the detritovores & decomposers of the forest floor. The
regenerated energy & material resources might also help to support our existing
“canopy” economy.

Though outside the field of chemistry, the flow of money controls the destiny of
entire nation states, & maybe the fate of the warming planet. The present wide
ranging fiscal problems may relate to the printing of currency as monetized debt.
This involves the manipulation of an increasing negative. As an economy grows
the debt load increases. At a certain point , when the debt grows too
large, instability might occur. Linking the printing of currency to an energy &
commodity base, similar to the blood or sap of an organism or, alternatively, the
valorization & subsequent devalorization of bound solar energy ( photosynthate
etc.) through an ecosystem, might avoid currency & debt collapse.
Perhaps the “ultimate valorization” can be conveyed by a simple “thought experiment”.
Imagine a pile of manure & trash under a large transparent glass dome positioned on the
moons dust - covered surface. Inside the dome are a couple of astronauts armed with
simple tools & packets of seeds & spores etc. Given time the manure could be transformed
by decomposers & plants into breathable oxygen, clean water, food & energy resources.
The trash could supply them with rare metals, plastics & a myriad of useful items. With
time the waste would almost disappear & a benign environment, with a self- sufficient
colony could develop.

How much easier it would be to do this on earth!
