One quadrillion dollars: cost to remove CO2
These are my numbers. Are they correct?
There are about 3.0 x 10^12 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere.
40-50% of that is due to humans based on the carbon PPM rise since industrialization.
Stanford study and some hand math on algal biodiesel prices the cost to remove a ton of CO2 at $1,000.
so 1 to 1.5 trillion tons of CO2 x $1000 per ton:
1+ quadrillion dollars.
Comments welcome... the cost/ton of CO2 is the most fungible factor there... any insights?
