Carbon Capture From the Atmosphere: A Solution to Global Warming?

Event Start:
2019-10-16T19:30:00
Event End:
2019-10-16T21:00:00
Event Information:

To stem the rise of global temperatures we must reduce CO2 emissions. Recently, a Canadian clean energy company, Carbon Engineering Ltd. has developed an industrially-scalable “Direct Air Capture” technology to address this global problem. This technology removes CO2 directly from the atmosphere and can permanently store it underground. In addition, it can be used to reduce emissions by producing ultra-low carbon synthetic fuels, which can power existing cars, trucks and airplanes without any modifications.
