READ MOREWhat is its role in clean energy transitions? CO2 use does not necessarily lead to emissions reduction. Climate benefits associated with a given CO2 use depend on the source of the CO2 (natural, fossil, biogenic or air-captured), the product or service the CO2-based product is displacing, the carbon intensity of the energy used for the conversion process, and
READ MORECarbon dioxide makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere; however, it is an important greenhouse gas. This means that its molecules in the atmosphere absorb heat radiation from, keeping the Earth
READ MORECO2 use can support climate goals where the application is scalable, uses low-carbon energy and displaces a product with higher life-cycle emissions. Some CO2
READ MOREThe movement of carbon from reservoir to reservoir is known as the carbon cycle. Carbon can be stored in a variety of reservoirs, including plants and animals, which is why they are considered carbon life forms. Carbon is used by plants to build leaves and stems, which are then digested by animals and used for cellular growth.
READ MORECarbon dioxide (CO2) is the most commonly used gas for insufflation during laparoscopic surgery because it is colorless, inexpensive, non-flammable, and has higher blood solubility than air, which reduces the risk of complications if venous embolism occurs. The use of CO2 gas for insufflation presents some risk.
READ MORECarbon dioxide is a colorless and non-flammable gas at normal temperature and pressure. Although much less abundant than nitrogen and oxygen in Earth''s atmosphere, carbon

READ MOREHow is carbon dioxide produced? The main source of carbon dioxide comes from human activity. When hydrocarbon fuels (including wood, coal, natural gas,
READ MORECarbon dioxide emissions are the primary driver of global climate change. It''s widely recognized that to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs to urgently reduce emissions. But, how this responsibility is shared between regions, countries, and individuals has been an endless point of contention in international discussions.

Governments and business leaders can help make this promise a reality. Reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continue to show that human activity is responsible for releasing vast amounts of carbon
READ MORECarbon dioxide removal is where CO2 already in the air is taken out and stored. There are two main approaches. Firstly, humans can try to increase the CO2 taken up by the natural world.
READ MORECarbon dioxide used in Food and Beverage. CO2 has a wide range of applications in this industry. The most obvious is the gas used for carbonating beverages, in particular beer, soft drinks, and wine. This prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. Carbon dioxide can also be used for de-caffeinating coffee. Thanks to its aforementioned cooling

Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CO2. It is made up of molecules that each have one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is found in the gas state at room temperature, and as the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 is the primary carbon source for life on Earth. In the air, carbon dioxide is transparent to visibl
