We are always talking about the pollution we create. The carbon and methane emissions, water purity, and so on. There are many innovations on how to reduce these, but what if we could use the pollution we are creating to create something useful and safe for the environment. Carbon sequestration is a natural process that we take for granted. It is the earths ability to absorb Carbon before it reaches the atmosphere. With the damage we have caused to the natural cycle the earth is unable to compete with our emissions of carbon. Carbon sequestration is the storage and hardening of carbon emissions before they hit the air we breathe. To reverse this cycle some savvy humans are thinking of ways for humans to make up for their mistakes.
A new innovation created by New Light Technologies allows for the
everyday household use of our pollution. Most plastic is made from
fossil fuels which are a main issue of our pollution problem. AirCarbon
named by the company takes the pollution and makes the plastic.
Eliminating the need to use untapped resources and also allowing for the
possible reversal of some of the carbon flow we create. The production of the plastic takes three steps. First the capture of
the carbon, second isolate the carbon and third polymerize the carbon. After these steps a strong durable plastic is made.
AirCarbon is classified as a carbon negative resource.
What does carbon
negative mean?
With this product and the studies they have done, AirCarbon actually reduces the amount of carbon added into the atmosphere. Essentially they created a carbon sequestration system that is man made.
This is a good step towards reversing out unhealthy impact onto the earth. Focusing on eliminating the use of fossil fuels is important however it is equally important to innovate on ways we can use the destruction we have created in positive ways. This technology embodies our future. As generations face the idea of Global Warming it is important to keep in mind that the systems we were given by previous generations may harm the earth, but those systems can be restructured to benefit us as well as heal the earth and prevent further damage. Here is the CEO to give you some insight on the products New Light Technologies in creating.
