Scientists convert carbon dioxide, create electricity
Scientists have developed an oxygen-assisted aluminum/carbon dioxide power cell that uses electrochemical reactions to both sequester the carbon dioxide and produce electricity. Ref. Source 9o.
We do not want to remove a lot of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere as that is what the plants use to breathe. The plants use the carbon dioxide and gives us back oxygen. This is a balance that we must maintain unless we want to deprive ourselves of oxygen in the long run.
This climate change plan to store carbon dioxide in the ground sounds like science fiction, but it could save the planet. Scientists are looking for ways to pull some of the carbon dioxide that’s causing global warming out of the atmosphere and store it in the ground. It’s called carbon capture and storage, and experts increasingly say it’s going to be essential to help the Earth. Source 9p.
