Technology Innovations For Capturing And Reusing Carbon

Eventually, the world needs to find a way to dispose of its rapidly accumulating carbon dioxide emissions.

Produced majorly as a by product of combustion, carbon dioxide is toxic, and while many technologies currently exist to mop up the global concentration of carbon, some scientists (and key stakeholders) say that these technologies are not enough. […]

Alcoa Inc., Calera Corporation, Gas Technology Institute and Novomer Inc, all recipients of the award, will debut technologies that summarily use an efficient mechanism to “repurpose” carbon dioxide into a beneficial product. Calera Corporation, for instance, plans to mineralize captured carbon dioxide into carbonates that would then be converted into materials for the construction industry. The process for this conversion is based on a membrane electrolysis technique. […]
