Pass 1: culture a huge amount of spinachs that pull co2 out of the air

Pass 2: distroy this plants releasing co2 again in the air to obtain chloroplasts from the upper half of the creature. Set free again the co2 saved in roots. (Alternatively pick only leaves from the spinach).

Pass 3: use this chloroplasts to recover a part of the co2 released in the pass 2

Pass 4: ... D'oh!



> In ongoing and future work, the chloroplast is being replaced by catalysts that are nonbiological in origin

The next question is how much CO2 will be released during the manufacturing process for these catalysts.
