Sulfur has lots of industrial uses.

Carlos, what would we do with all of the 2S produced

Raymond Stenger and James Wasas invite members of the academic and professional communities on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2009, to learn about the Stenger-Wasas Process (SWAP), proposing that a reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) eliminates both (2H2S + CO2 => 2H2O + 2S + C) in a mildly exothermic reaction and could alter the course of global warming and impact escalating energy costs. Hear and discuss the science behind the SWAP and its potential impact on the hydrocarbon industry.

this is very hard to understand just want to find out what does it really mean by climate change or global warming,and if there is any method that they use to suck the carbon dioxide from atmosphere other than the forest?

Yeah, I suppose I was just being a smart-ass and after I posted the comment I realized that the effect of carbon on the atmosphere probably has an exponentially higher production of heat than the waste heat produced.

I’d still like to know what catalyst they’re using. I hope it does work, was just opening up debate!

Nooo… its not, its a very bad point, and you should have realised it. (a) Waste heat is far smaller than CO2-radiative effects and more importantly (b) exothermic just means you don’t need to pump lots of energy in to make it work, so industrially it is more likely to be plausible.

That’s another good point…but I guess the heat would be usable and so avoid the need for an external heat source for some process in the same industrial plant…depends on how much and the “quality” of the heat released.

If you are removing carbon dioxide, but producing heat, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of removing the carbon dioxide, which is to prevent global warming?

I hacked the wiki page a bit. Others may follow.
