Thank you for your proposal. This is an interesting take on carbon neutrality. Are there any promising technologies or methods that you would propose prioritizing? If Somerville were to adopt this idea, we would want to know how the City and its stakeholders could make it a success. Have you thought about what different roles we would each play: the City, universities, residents, tech industry? We look forward to seeing your idea develop!

Thanks for your interesting question.
There are two scenarios that have to be taken into account, big plants (50 MW or more) & small plants (let's say 50MW or less).
The first case the only choice I see is three or more chemical scrubbers working in tandem coupled in a CO2 pipeline transport system that goes somewhere to keep it. Quite difficult in the short term to implement.
On the other hand, there's a very successful experience en Bremen, Germany. A small coal based power plant treat its effluents by bio-scrubbing with green algae.
