The carbon dioxide that we emit can be reduced in several ways, out of which some are more or less effective. A study performed by Princeton engineer Robert Socolow reveals that as much as we'd want to, we simply can't remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by means of "Direct Air Capture" technologies.

Carbozyme, a NJ-based company is trying to mimic a phenomenon that happens when you breathe: capturing CO2 via a naturally occurring blood enzyme. Our body captures about two pounds of carbon dioxide per day - scaled-up industrial systems could do a lot more if put up properly.
