 Today, our planet's atmosphere contains more carbon dioxide than we've ever seen in human history. As one of the leading drivers of climate change, CO2 is a problem that's only getting worse. But what if we didn't have to choose between our economy and our environment? What if we could turn our carbon liability into an asset? The truth is, CO2 can be recycled into valuable products at a scale that could transform our global economy, but it won't happen on its own. The NRG-CoCIA Carbon X Prize is a $20 million competition to convert carbon dioxide into valuable products. Carbon care technology takes CO2 and converts it into stronger and greener concrete. Our process makes a very nutritious protein. From carbon emissions to bioplastic. Carbon negative biofuel. Plastics and other sorts of materials. Carbon nanofibers. Feeds for fish. We take carbon dioxide and water and we turn that into alcohol. You can drink it to make yourself feel better. My motivation for competing in the Carbon X Prize is my son. What am I going to leave for him? In 50 years, 100 years, and what about his kids and their kids? There's a sense out there that climate change can't be fixed. That's something that we just adamantly disagree with. 38 teams from around the world accepted the challenge. After two years of development and testing, judges have narrowed it down to these ten finalists. To win the competition, teams must scale up and demonstrate their technologies using emissions from real power plants. The finals will take place at two new test centers. One in Calgary, Alberta and one in Gillette, Wyoming. The stakes have never been higher. Together these solutions will help transform our economy and redefine our climate future. Imagine a world where everything around you is made from carbon emissions. From the products you use every day to the clothes you wear, to the roads you drive on, to the buildings you live in. Welcome to the circular carbon economy.
