The present invention discloses a comprehensive system for the marine sequestration of carbon by injecting a slurry of diverse residual biomasses into deep-sea sediments. Central to the innovation is a meticulously designed flexible pipe system, which efficiently transports the slurry from storage units to the seafloor, significantly reducing the energy required for the overall injection process. The system also includes an adapted bulk carrier vessel, uniquely modified for seamless biomass transport, handling, and quality maintenance. The vessel is equipped with state-of-the-art energy generation systems, emphasizing renewable sources, and incorporates environmental considerations to minimize ecological impact. The injection process is optimized through a series of specialized equipment and detailed operational parameters, ensuring precise control and adaptability to various sediment types, depths, and environmental conditions. Additionally, the invention offers several unique embodiments catering to different needs, providing a flexible, cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible solution to ocean-based carbon storage. The system leverages the vastness of the oceans and the unique properties of various biomasses, offering a cutting-edge response to the global challenge of carbon sequestration.

ANAEROBIC TREATMENT METHOD

An anaerobic treatment method that can efficiently utilize harvest residues produced in agricultural fields as resources. The anaerobic treatment method causes a raw material including harvest residues produced in an agricultural field to undergo methane fermentation to return fermentation residues produced from the methane fermentation to the agricultural field and to utilize biogas produced from the methane fermentation as an energy source, and includes adjusting a cut length of the harvest residues to be supplied to the methane fermentation based on information about demand for the fermentation residues or the biogas. The method includes adjusting a cut length or average cut length of the harvest residues to be supplied to the methane fermentation to be short in response to an increase in demand for the fermentation residues or the biogas.
