A deep dive into the technologies turning excess atmospheric carbon into valuable industrial inputs.

Each year, roughly 40 billion tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere. Given that global energy consumption increases at a rate of 2% every year , it’s likely that our emissions will increase at a similar rate. This trajectory conflicts with the Paris Climate Agreement’s 2015 commitment to keep average global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius — a goal that climate scientists agree will require net negative emissions. This means that merely reducing existing emissions or switching to less polluting fuel alternatives won’t be enough. We will need a solution to actively t
