Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion
Adding value while fighting climate change
Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the only way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.
Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.
However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.
Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.
