Abstract
The main aim of this chapter is to update the readership on different strategies that have been designed, are in development or have been proposed for reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. This chapter does not follow the structure of the book. The authors expect that a shift in the harmonised style of the book will facilitate reading. With the help of a quick set of fire questions, the harmlessness of the CO2 molecule, removal strategies, capture and sequestration, and its direct transformation into other useful products are discussed in the chapter.
