It appears that there has been an increase in concentration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere over the past 125 years. This has been generally attributed to the exponential growth in the use of fossil fuel resulting in the release of fossil carbon as CO2 and the deforestation or the leveling of forests around the earth which reduced the photosynthetic utilization of atmospheric CO2. This paper presents studies conducted for the Carbon Dioxide Research Division (CDRD) of the U.S. Department of Energy relating to possible mitigation technologies which would tend to reduce CO2 emissions in the future.
