Global CO2 Initiative Note: This article was carried over from CO2 Sciences as a result of our merger.
On April 18, 2017, the Global CO2 Initiative conducted a webinar and Q&A session where our CEO, Dr. Issam Dairanieh, discussed a Global Roadmap that illustrates how we can transform CO2 from a liability into an asset at significant market scale.

The idea of capturing carbon emissions has long been touted as key to tackling runaway climate change, but the high cost of developing facilities has meant its rollout has been far slower than hoped.
Listen to the presentation (MP3: 31MB, 76 minutes) View the slides (PDF: 5MB) Abstract After years of slow progress on achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions, most climate stabilization scenarios now assume significant future ability to capture and store ambient atmospheric CO2, usually via photosynthesis and carbon sequestration in vegetation, soils, or geological storage. However, there…
Listen to the presentation (MP3: 44MB, 77 minutes) View the presentation slides (PowerPoint: 3MB) Abstract Despite deforestation and the conversion of forests to agricultural uses globally, the IPCC suggests that the net carbon sink globally amounts to around 1.5-2.0 Pg C per year. In the US, forests sequester around 0.2 Pg C per year. Much…

Finding ways to convert carbon dioxide from an energy and industrial sector waste product to a useful commodity could spur the development of new technologies, products, and industries while limiting emissions to the atmosphere of climate-altering pollutants. In 2016, U.S. policymakers demonstrated leadership in this area by introducing several bills that would provide commercial deployment incentives for carbon capture use and storage (CCUS) technology.[i]

Report Outlines Trillion Dollar Market Opportunity
Today the Global CO2 Initiative announced major findings and recommendations from its Roadmap for the Global Implementation of Carbon Dioxide Utilization Technologies at the ICEF2016 Roadmap Launch Event at COP22 in Morocco. The Roadmap offers a market assessment and recommendations for the carbon-based products industry (CBPI). The report shows that through broad scale commercialization of products derived from CO2 there are sizable market opportunities while mitigating CO2 emissions.
