👉 Carb engineering, also known as carbon engineering, is a set of technologies aimed at reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels by enhancing the natural processes that sequester carbon. This approach involves capturing CO2 directly from industrial sources, such as power plants and factories, or even from the air, and then converting it into useful products like fuels, chemicals, or building materials. One of the key methods is through mineral carbonation, where CO2 reacts with minerals to form stable carbonates, effectively locking away the carbon. Another method is bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), where biomass is used to generate energy, captured CO2 is stored underground, and the cycle repeats. Carb engineering not only helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas concentrations but also offers potential economic benefits through the creation of valuable products from captured carbon.
