The document describes an experiment to test biological carbon capture using algae. Algae cultures were grown in plastic cups with and without added baking soda over 10 days. Baking soda was added to provide extra carbon dioxide to boost algae growth. Secchi disk visibility readings showed the algae with baking soda captured more carbon at a rate of 24.26 gC/m2/yr, compared to 18.65 gC/m2/yr for algae without baking soda. While results did not meet the goal of 500 gC/m2/yr, longer experiments may improve outcomes.
