The CO2 Tree: The Potential for Carbon Dioxide Utilization Pathways

Among the most active areas of chemistry research today is that of carbon dioxide utilization: an area of research that was viewed as futile and commercially impractical not so long ago due to the energetic stability of the CO2 molecule. The breakthroughs that largely began in earnest in the 1990s have accelerated and now make up a diverse and plentiful portfolio of technological and scientific advances and commercialized technologies.

Green Chemistry for Climate and Sustainability Certificate Program

With over 96% of all manufactured goods touched by the chemistry enterprise, there is an urgent need for professionals who can lead the chemicals sector to one that simultaneously maximizes product function while addressing climate change and sustainability concerns.

Demonstrating CO2 Sequestration Using Olivine and Carbonated Beverages with Secondary School Students To Investigate pH and Electrical Conductivity Concepts

The introduction of recent science discourses around real-world issues into the classroom is challenging for chemistry educators. Carbon sequestration is one potential topic in this respect. On the basis of a demonstration experiment, it is suggested here to use the silicate mineral olivine as a way to introduce the concept of CO2 sequestration. This real-world topic can be used to introduce standard chemistry topics taught in secondary school, such as pH and electrical conductivity.
