Description

The Story of CO2 explores all aspects of carbon dioxide, from the atomic to the universal, and takes the reader on an epic journey into our physical world, from the Big Bang all the way to the present world in which atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to grow. This story seeks to inspire readers with the latest carbon utilization technologies and explain how they fit within the broader context of carbon mitigation strategies in the shift toward a sustainable energy economy.
