About The Global CO2 Initiative<\/h3>\n

The Global CO2 Initiative (GCI) was created to develop and commercialize the trillion dollar CO2<\/sub> products industry. These products use recycled CO2<\/sub> as a key ingredient; examples include cement, aggregates, chemicals, polymers and carbon fiber. The Initiative coordinates with international partners focused on a common mission to deploy and scale CO2<\/sub> products across multiple sectors.<\/p>\n

CO2 Sciences, the non-profit arm of the GCI, will award R&D funding to qualified research applicants creating innovative technologies. The GCI commercialization arm will work in parallel to accelerate the market for CO2<\/sub> products by investing in commercial-stage companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
