1.2 Million to accelerate America's Carbon dioxide removal
This map shows mean net emissions and removals of carbon dioxide from 2015 to 2020 using estimates informed by NASA’s OCO-2 satellite measurements. Countries where more carbon dioxide was removed than emitted appear as green depressions, while countries with higher emissions are tan or red and appear to pop off the page.

“The Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchase Prize is a first-of-a-kind initiative to catalyze the market for high-quality CO2 removal credits, helping jumpstart a critical decarbonization tool,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
The Commercial Direct Air Capture Prize, including the Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchase Pilot Prize and the upcoming Commercial Direct Air Capture Pilot Prize , anticipate offering up to $100 million in prizes and technical assistance across the two programs.

Nanoparticle catalysts convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide to make useful compoundsAs a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) contributes to climate change as it accumulates in the atmosphere. One way to reduce the amount of unwanted CO2 in the atmosphere is to convert the gas into a useful carbon product that can be used to generate valuable compounds.
