Carbon dioxide is the result of the combustion of an organic compound in the presence of sufficient oxygen to complete its oxidation. It can also be produced by reacting a carbonate or bicarbonate with an acid.
In nature, it is also produced by aerobic bacteria during the alcoholic fermentation process and is the byproduct of respiration. Plants use it for photosynthesis which, by combining it with water and by the action of sunlight and chlorophyll, transforms it into glucose, releasing oxygen as a by-product.
Therefore, it goes without saying that if on the one hand it is the greenhouse gas par excellence, on the other, without it the life on earth would been extremely different from how we know.
The balance in the atmosphere must be maintained and, therefore, activities that release large quantities of it should be avoided.
To do this literally the humans should abandon modern civilization.
However, there are other viable ways, also more exciting!
Carbon dioxide, if food grade, can be packaged and has a large number of applications including sparkling beverages. In BIOZIMMI it is possible to make it food grade applying the appropriate moduls.
We have developed modules to use it for the production of urea or calcium carbonate.
Or it can be immediately conveyed to greenhouses to be built nearby, especially if of spirulina algae which make it an average consumption enormously greater than the average of other crops: they are able to absorb the CO2 present in the atmosphere even 400 times faster than a common tree.
