Carbon Engineering is a company developing technology for carbon capture and storage. Bill Gates has invested in the company.
Most scientists and environmental journalists see an urgent need for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate climate change.

Transcript:
In Squamish, British Columbia, there's a company that wants to stop climate change by sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
One of our plants does the work of 40 million trees.
We have the lowest capital cost, an energy cost of any of the CO2 capture from atmosphere solutions.
Basically, Carbon Engineering's process involves using large fans to pull in atmospheric air through a device called the Contactor. After that, it's just chemistry. The air gets sent through a honeycomb structure upon which a liquid solution of chemicals is constantly raining down on some of the CO2 molecules in the air stick to that liquid, and the resulting solution is processed in a few more chemical steps to form calcium carbonate pellets, which are heated at very high temperatures to release pure carbon dioxide, which can then be stored underground or used to create products like fuels.
All the chemicals in the process are recycled so the cycle can repeat.
