This is rerouted to a greenhouse next door, which helps in creating healthy crops. The plant is able to take in 900 metric tons of carbon per year and convert it into a valuable resource instead of being the cause of global warming.<\/p>\n<p>Christoph Gebald, co-founder and managing director of Climeworks says that highly scalable negative emission technologies are crucial if we are to stay below the 2-degree target [for global temperature rise] of the international community. The pioneering business, is showing others the way to make a real difference.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is that the carbon dioxide that is captured can be easily used in a number of other industries besides greenhouse gases to boost vegetable growth. The first obvious use is for making carbonated beverages.
