“We need to pull out all stops to accelerate CO2 capture and utilization to reduce atmospheric CO2 and to ensure availability of key products that are free from fossil carbon. Traditional technology deployment is too slow; it is urgent that we take action to avert the grim scenarios described in this latest IPCC report,” say Bernard David and Volker Sick, of the Global CO2 Initiative
As the US congress considers a trillion-dollar infrastructure deal that addresses the continuing impacts of climate change on American cities and towns, the Conversation named a recent GCI article on climate-friendly concrete as one of “3 essential reads” to better understand innovations in resilient infrastructure.

GCI is excited to announce the launch of our Student Team CCU Products Summer Internship Project! Students from several schools are working with GCI this summer to investigate what could be done with a million tons of annual carbon dioxide emissions from the St Mary’s cement kiln in Charlevoix, Michigan. Students will have the benefit…
Science can now pull carbon out of the air. For that to make a difference, though, businesses need to find profitable places to put it. Global CO2 Initiative Director, Volker Sick, quoted in the New York Times.
Global CO2 Initiative is excited to share the successful launch of the first-ever DACC-A-THON student competition: A hackathon for direct air carbon capture. GCI has partnered with the OpenAir Collective to create a yearly student competition in which teams optimize a direct air carbon capture (DACC) device. Students will begin with a base DACC device…
Article by Volker Sick (Global CO2 Initiative) and Tim Skone (National Energy Technology Laboratory) Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), a set of tools that can help address excess CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and which can help mitigate climate change effects, is rapidly receiving increasing attention worldwide as a valuable commercial opportunity. Promoting research,…
