How chemistry makes carbon dioxide removal possible

Reactions Science Videos | July 07, 2021

Over the last couple hundred years, the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has skyrocketed. If we don’t remove at least some of it, there will be even more heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes and other climate disasters, scientists predict. In this week’s episode, we break down how people are using chemistry to make that happen.
