Carbon Dioxide Irrigation: Using CO 2 to Make the Deserts Bloom Tim Kruger Oxford Martin School University of Oxford 14 April 2014
Initial experiments confirmed that water usage was in line with expectations Limitations: • Small scale experiments • Aquatic species only • Temperature controlled
Recent Experiments at Plant Sciences • Larger sealed tanks • Terrestrial and aquatic species • Temperature of greenhouse raised to 40C during the day and reduced to 10C at night to simulate the diurnal temperature change in a desert environment
Three Challenges • Temperature control • Humidity control • Cost
Initial set-up and abiotic experiment to test solution to temperature control challenge

Experiments demonstrating the performance of terrestrial species in the sealed system
Experiments to demonstrate the 99% reduction in water required to produce biomass at mesocosm scale Chlorella vulgaris Chlorella vulgaris Botryococcus braunii Botryococcus braunii (10% CO 2 ) (Ambient) (10% CO 2 ) (Ambient) Dry weight of 4.26 1.11 3.93 0.96 biomass (g) Water loss in 0.94 1.38 2.50 0.81 vented air (g) Water chemically 2.37 0.62 2.18 0.53 incorporated in dry biomass (g) Total water 3.31 2.00 4.68 1.34 consumed (g) Total water 0.76:1 1.80:1 1.19:1 1.40:1 consumed: dry weight of biomass
Experimental results demonstrating that the CO 2 - fertilisation effect in action in the sealed system
Implications • The CO 2 Irrigation concept is confirmed: very low water loss • We can definitely grow algae in this system • Humidity levels still problematic for terrestrial species • The body of water acted as a thermal buffer
