Can Carbon Dioxide Escape Again After It Has Been Removed?
Cleaning up carbon dioxide - getting it out of the air - is only half the battle, and not even the hardest part. Once it’s out of the air, where can we put it so that it won’t keep trapping heat in our atmosphere and destabilizing our climate? Carbon dioxide gets stored in plants, soil, the ocean, and can be mineralized in rocks. Getting the full picture on carbon dioxide storage reinforces why a combination of solutions are necessary to restore our climate.

Increasing Sustainable Aviation Fuel Use
Cleaning up carbon dioxide stored in the atmosphere is vital; alongside this we also must evolve many aspects of how travel happens today. Sustainable aviation fuel is one of these areas of evolution. Sustainable aviation fuel is produced from resources such as waste oils from a biological origin or non-fossil carbon dioxide. So called ‘feedstocks’ for sustainable aviation fuel range from cooking oil, plant oils, municipal waste, waste gases, and agricultural residues.

Terms like “carbon capture and sequestration” and “carbon removal” and “direct air capture” can be confusing. Here are a few definitions to help.
