This is the third and final episode of Clearing the Air, our mini-series on carbon capture. In this episode, we look at some of the potential uses for captured carbon—including a startup employing nature’s C02 recycling model—and the necessity of sweeping, speedy scaling.

This is the second episode of our Skydeck mini-series on carbon capture. In the first episode, we explored the scope of the problem—and the potential size of the business opportunity at this moment.  In this episode we’re headed to the Carbon Capture Inc.'s headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles, where the company's first prototype was built. And to Southwest Wyoming where the company is planning the first large-scale direct-air capture facility in the United States.   

This is the first episode of "Clearing the Air", a three-part series focused on the business of carbon capture, a technology that could help address the climate change crisis by removing excess carbon dioxide right out of the atmosphere. The promise of this approach has launched a raft of companies that not only capture but also store and even reuse the carbon—creating an industry that has attracted several billion dollars of government and investor capital in just the last few years. But the scope of the problem is massive and growing, which means that all of these promising new ideas need to launch and scale quickly.  This series will take you inside the world of carbon capture, guided by innovators and experts at the forefront of the movement who will help you understand what is possible.
