Scientists at the Canadian company Carbon Engineering have they are close to carbon capture work. Carbon capture is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from places like power plants and then it so it does not the environment. Carbon Engineering say its scientists close to capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and it into carbon-neutral fuel. This could a big step forward in the fight against global warming. The scientists also said they greatly the cost of carbon capture, to as low as $94 per ton of CO2 captured. Many scientists believed carbon capture would about $1,000 per ton captured.

The technology by sucking air into special industrial towers. The CO2 is with an alkaline liquid and . It is then heated and with hydrogen. This produces liquid fuels like gasoline and jet fuel. The founder of Carbon Engineering, Professor David Keith, was optimistic about the future of this process. He believes his company could to combat climate change. He : "After 100 years of practical engineering and cost analysis, we can confidently that while air capture is not some magical cheap solution, it a viable and buildable technology for carbon-neutral fuels in the immediate future, and for carbon in the long run."
