We Need To USE THE CO2!
Put the CO2 to Use
September 2019 – New opportunities to use carbon dioxide (CO2) in the development of products and services are capturing the attention of governments, industry and the investment community interested in mitigating climate change. This analysis considers the near-term market potential for five key categories of CO2-derived products and services: fuels, chemicals, building materials from minerals, building materials from waste, and CO2 use to enhance the yields of biological processes. All five categories could individually be scaled-up to a market size of at least 10 MtCO2/yr – almost as much as the current CO2 demand for food and beverages
Carbon Dioxide is really very very vital to life on planet Earth!
We Need To USE THE CO2!
Lets Use it! Not bury it!
Oct 5, 2020 – If you think that CO2, the gas that’s the leading cause for global warming, can be turned into a valuable feedstock, then you’re right. This video will educate you on the various uses of CO2, the industries that benefit from it, why it’s important to cut emissions, how to reduce carbon footprints, and how our company, Eureka Oxygen, plays its part.
Too much CO2 in the atmosphere is “pollution”-“Waste”-“Climate Change”.
BUT, this is another example that WASTE IS WEALTH.
If you think CO2 is a valuable feedstock for industry, then you are right! ….10’s of essential Industries rely on CO2.
We Need To USE THE CO2!
So Lets get Started .
What are the major uses for CO2?
What is dry Ice – Frozen CO2
Dry ice is frozen CO2 and it is a regular part of the atmosphere of earth. It is that same gas that we exhale at the time of breathing, and that plants use during photosynthesis. This gas is stored during various industrial processes and recycled for the making of dry ice. It is beneficial particularly in freezing and keeping things frozen for a long time.
Adding dry ice to your cooler is an ideal way keep food and drink chilled for up to 72 hours. Dry ice doesn’t melt like wet ice, instead it sublimates (or evaporates) as a gas.
>>>Frozen & other Food Production – A key component in controlled atmosphere storage of fruit and vegetables, carbon dioxide is used in concentrations along with oxygen and nitrogen to regulate the temperature and humidity of food products during storage and transportation. It is also used to extend the shelf life of dairy and baked products by deterring mould in baked goods and some cheeses – The companies that supply the CO2 should get it from CARBON CAPTURE from our atmosphere.
Why could a shortage of carbon dioxide affect our food supply?

>>>Food Preservation even at home – Gases can help prevent discoloration and provides an added barrier against spoilage of fresh food. The process of using gasses to naturally preserve foods is called MAP, Modified Atmosphere Processing. The type of gas and or mixture depends on the food that needs to be preserved. MAP involves changing the atmosphere inside a container that the food is packaged in….Carbon Dioxide is most commonly used to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria and is used to achieve the longer shelf life. – The companies that supply the CO2 should get it from CARBON CAPTURE from our atmosphere.
CO2 extends French Fries’ Shelf life
New technologies like ours must help ensure a stable and robust food system that meets consumer needs without compromising nutrition, environment, or supply chains.
Building Food Resilience Through Supercritical Fluids
At Farther Farms, we commercialized a better way to process foods using carbon dioxide instead of traditional techniques like steam or hot water. This allows us to create products with novel attributes that never need to be frozen. Our high-quality, shelf-stable foods reduce reliance on cold storage infrastructure, expanding food accessibility, and improving long-term supply chain sustainability.

Carbon Dioxide in Greenhouses
17.04.2023 – Plug-n-play DAC: Ukraine-based startup
Carbominer piloted its transportable machine
with an international industrial partner
KYIV, UKRAINE – The Carbominer’s team has completed a pilot of a 1.2t Direct Air Capture (DAC) machine. The pilot’s goal was to serve as “proof-of-concept” for Carbominer’s DAC technology, measure its key performance indicators, and obtain a third-party validation report.
The results of this two-week pilot have shown that Carbominer’s DAC technology works, providing little water usage and higher than expected CO2 purity (99.5%). The full pilot report was delivered at the end of February.
Direct Air Capture of CO2 combined with durable storage creates a carbon removal process and is a proven means for companies to reach their net-zero goals. Carbominer is one of a few companies in the field to offer transportable DAC modules for local CO2 capture.
Capture the excess CO2 from the air above your factory and USE IT!
NO MATTER WHAT THE INDUSTRY
Apr 26, 2023 Carbominer has developed new modular DAC technology to capture CO₂ from the open air at the place of use. Carbominer empowers indoor growers to move to sustainable operations.

Medical & Health Care uses
As you know Laparoscopic Surgery is done in a closed space putting a small port and a camera and we work with our instruments to move, what happens is normally al or abdomen is collapsed so I have to get more space. So this the reason we have to inflate some gas. So we have to use a gas which is more safe. If I use oxygen there is a chance that is flammable. It can cause fire. So we use Carbon dioxide because it is non inflammable gas and it is well tolerated. We operate and we can deflate and take it out of the body and ir doesn’t irritate the peritoneum or the abdominal tissues and organs.
>>>Medical – Healthcare is among the industries most reliant on supplies of CO2, with the colourless and odourless gas deployed during surgery to provide better visibility for surgeons of a surgical area by stabilising body cavities. – Get your supply of CO2 from CARBON CAPTURE from out of the atmosphere.
Beverage Industry – Largest User
The Beverage Industry Is The Largest User in The Carbon Dioxide Market
January, 2021 – …The global carbon dioxide market reached a value of nearly $9.68 billion in 2020, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.94% since 2015. The market is expected to reach $11.26 billion by 2025, and $12.70 billion by 2030.
CO2 manufacturing companies are focusing on “carbon capture” and utilization. Carbon dioxide manufacturers have traditionally drawn in CO2 from burning fossil fuels. They use this CO2 for the production of sodium bicarbonate which can be used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The chemicals used to manufacture CO2 are considered expensive or economically risky, but now due to improved carbon capture technology, it is becoming widely considered and used among CO2 producing companies.

Carbon dioxide-based polymers: Turning carbon emissions into plastic
March 2020 – ..As more effective conversion processes continue to emerge, the interest in using CO2 for the production of chemicals and polymers increases. Polymers, including plastics such as low-density polyethylene and polypropylene, are one of the most widely used materials, and their main ingredients are traditionally obtained from petroleum, itself a finite resource. Furthermore, oil refinement – a necessary process for obtaining the principal compounds for polymers – is highly energy-intense, and thus, greatly contributes to CO2 emissions.
Mar 22, 2022 – A team of researchers, led by UA’s Dr. James Eagan, are studying sustainability with a focus on where plastic comes from and where it ends up. Learn about their research making plastics from carbon dioxide (CO2), leading to a new, biodegradable plastic.

Lost Interview – Buckminster Fuller
“I was able to say, 10 years ago [1969], ….it is now clearly in evidence from an engineering and design viewpoint. That we are not using only proven technology, using only metals that have already been mined and not re-circulating. Within a ten-year design revolution, we can have all of humanity living at a higher standard of living [than] anybody has ever known. And this would be completely sustainable because during that 10-years we can phase out all further use of fossil fuels and atomic energy [with new technology and engineering]. We can live entirely on our own energy income. …. It’s all going to depend on a new young world coming through. ….. R. Buckminster Fuller, 1979
