There are devices that suck in air and purify it

The researchers explained that trees absorb carbon dioxide, but the process is lacking. Therefore they

have unveiled a device that will help remove excess carbon from the atmosphere.

Scientists this time have upgraded similartechnology and focused on the extraction of gas from the air. This is a challenge because the harmful gases in the air are found in much lower concentrations than in industrial emissions. But if the technology can be scaled up, it could give humanity the ability to control global pollution levels.

The Swiss firm Climeworks has built severalsuch installations throughout Europe. Iceland's new killer whale plant will be the largest in the world when it opens next year and will be capable of removing four million tons of carbon per year. At the same time, Canadian company Carbon Engineering is building a plant capable of removing one million tonnes of CO2 per year.

Scientists have built tiny microbial factories based on droplets

These plants use chemical reactions tobinding CO2 molecules, pulling them away from other gases in the air. The carbon can then be pumped underground for storage, or used with hydrogen to make low-carbon fuels.

In the UK, CO2 will be injected intospent oil and gas fields in the North Sea. At the same time, the researchers note that it cannot escape back into the atmosphere, even in the event of an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
