Could the Well of an Orbital Lift be used to Dump Greenhouse Gases into Space?

TL;DR

This paper explores the feasibility of using the well of a geostationary orbital lift as a method to remove greenhouse gases from Earth's atmosphere by dumping them into space.

Contribution

It analyzes the conditions necessary for using orbital lift wells to effectively and safely dispose of greenhouse gases into space.

Findings

Potential technical conditions identified for orbital dumping

Challenges related to safety and energy requirements discussed

Feasibility depends on specific orbital and environmental factors

Abstract

Anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been changing significantly the climate and causing dire effects on the dynamics of the Earth System. We examine the conditions under which the well of a geostationary orbital lift can be used to dump greenhouse gases into space.
