A pilot project between CO
2
Solutions Inc. and Husky Energy is
poised to change the way carbon dioxide (CO
2
) emissions im-
pact the world’s climate, while offering a cost-efficient solution
to companies that utilize the gas in their industrial applications.
The burning of carbon-based fuels accounts for approximately
70 percent of energy demands worldwide, and that number
is expected to double by 2035. While the growth is indicative
of a prospering economy, it also means that greenhouse gas
emissions are likely to increase and result in disruptive climate
change.
