To reach net zero, 10 billion tonnes of CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere every year by 2050. That's five times more than is being removed today. Innovative CO, capture, utilization, and storage technologies can support industrial decarbonization. If fully deployed, carbon utilization alone could convert 27 gigatonnes of CO, into products each year by 2050, amounting to a $4.4 trillion opportunity for sustainable economic practices.
