CO2 in its overabundance in our atmosphere has become a huge problem as one of the primary causes for many environmental concerns. There are, however, positive uses for CO2 that are starting to be noticed by many industries (with the help of Greenpeace) and aggressively adopted by many large companies.
Coca Cola, who has more refrigerating units than any other company (because of the vending machines they own, of course) has decided to not only start producing machines that use CO2 as its coolant, but also to replace the older, less eco-friendly versions. If other vendors and industries start to adopt such practices, we may be able to make a dent in the global eco-crisis.
Original Description:
We’re used to thinking of CO2 as the problem. And that, largely is absolutely true. But the good news behind the truth of CO2’s overabundance in our atmosphere, is that any industrial use for the gas is carbon-neutral, since it’s being pulled out CO2 positive industries, like oil refineries and power plants.
