Scientists are to making carbon capture work. Carbon capture is taking carbon dioxide (CO2) from power and storing it so it does not harm the . A company called Carbon Engineering say its are close to capturing CO2 from the and turning it into carbon-neutral . This is a big step in the fight against global warming. The scientists also said they have reduced the of carbon capture, to as low as $94 per ton of CO2 captured. Scientists used to say carbon capture would cost about $1,000 per captured.

Carbon Engineering's works by sucking air into special . CO2 is mixed with a liquid and frozen. It is then heated and mixed with . This produces fuels like gasoline and fuel. Carbon Engineering's Professor David Keith is about the future of this . He thinks his company could fight change. He said: "After 100 years of practical ...we can confidently say that...air capture...is a [realistic] and buildable for producing carbon-neutral fuels in the future, and for removing carbon in the long run."
