The technology to capture CO2 from the air stream of an air conditioner and transform the CO2 into a carbon neutral fuel exists today.

Take some CO2, add a touch of hydrogen, sprinke with minerals, zap with electricity,  mix,  and what to we have?? Crunchy Proteins !!! Can be added to soups, cookies, pizza and all  favorite foods to increase protein content. Really!!!

Carbotuna of Gravitas Infinitum plans to open a vertical farm in Florida to grow 38 million hemp plants and sequester 44 million tons of CO2 annually. The hemp plants act as a bio-filter to recycle wastewater from phosphate mining ponds and its equipment can also be used on waste plastic. Additionally Carbotuna will produce pure graphene and industrial diamonds in its processses…

A breakthrough from UIC in Illinois has published a paper proving that a Lithium Carbon Dioxide battery can now be recharged successfully and holds far more (7 x) energy than a traditional battery. In the second part of this presentation a team from MIT in Massachusetts has shown a revolutionary system that significantly improves the efficiency of capturing pure CO2 from ambient air streams.

Scientists at CarbFix are making rocks with CO2. The gas is mixed with water and inserted into basalt stone underground, where it reacts with minerals to form non-porous rock formations. Much of Earth’s crust is made of basalt, therefore the CarbFix methodology could be use just about everywhere…

Carbon neutral fuels are pure, clean fuels that do not add additional CO2 to the atmosphere. Instead CO2 is recycled; capture, release, recapture. For the aviation industry carbon neutral fuels could serve as a bridge, while technology development continues towards electric…

Waste can be a practical source, captured carbon particulates to ink.

‘Carbon Capture & Utilization is the hottest new acronym in town.’ What can we make with captured CO2? Plenty
