1. A method for gaseous matter capture, comprising:
(i) separating at least one designated gaseous matter from air by at least one gas separator carried by an airborne aerial unit, the separating by the gas separator being at least one of: refrigeration by a cooler, a refrigerator, or a freezer; heat pumping by a heat pump; pumping by a pressure pump; compressing by a compressor; membranal separation by a membrane; chemical separation by a chemical or catalyst; or separation by a biological enzyme,
(ii) compressing the at least one separated gaseous matter, and storing the at least one compressed separated gaseous matter within at least one storage container carried by the airborne aerial unit, and
(iii) guiding the storage container containing compressed stored separated gaseous matter from the aerial unit to a non-aerial unit by at least one of: releasing or throwing the storage container from the aerial unit, a parachute, gliding wings, a propeller, gas injection, a jet thruster, or a steering or navigation mechanism,
wherein the method is designated to be powered by an energy source that is at least one of: a power reservoir, a battery, a hydrogen reservoir or hydrogen-based fuel cell, a solar panel or paint or sheet, a wind turbine, a nuclear power generator, a thermal-nuclear power source, a thermoelectric element, a tethered wire connected to a source of energy, to thereby exploit temperatures at altitudes of the airborne aerial unit in order to liquefy or solidify the designated gaseous matter with less energy and increased efficiency of the gaseous matter capture method.
