Description
Invisible and odourless, yet at the heart of the greatest climate challenge of our century, CO₂ occupies a unique position. As a major driver of climate change, it could also become one of the catalysts for a new industrial revolution.
From paradox to opportunity, a new carbon economy is emerging, centred on the capture, storage, utilisation and industrial applications of CO₂. It is already reshaping value chains, industrial strategies and the balance of power on the international stage.
How can we reconcile the climate emergency, economic viability and industrial sovereignty?
