Carbon dioxide enrichment by composting in greenhouses

Composting of waste biomass, plant waste and organic waste emits CO2. This CO2 is biogenic and not anthropogenic.

One way by which CO2 enhancement in greenhouses can be attempted is through composting of waste biomass - including that from the greenhouse itself - inside the greenhouse.

Such composting could enrich the soil while at the same time, the CO2 emitted is (at least partially) captured back by the plants growing in the greenhouse.
