If you look at the recent IPCC reports, people are heavily betting on putting carbon back into the stable form. That can be in the form of carbon capture storage, or creating new building materials or other stuff out of it. I think in the near future, people will pay a hefty premium for carbon storage due to carbon taxes (Check out this great GIF that illustrates carbon tax scheme growth: https://www.sightline.org/2017/06/06/map-the-future-is-carbon-priced-and-the-us-is-getting-left-behind/ https://www.sightline.org/2017/06/06/map-the-future-is-carbo... ). Together, these carbon pricing initiatives cover about 7 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e), or about 13 percent of annual global GHG emissions. I think this will create a huge business, so if you are an engineer, I think it makes sense to get involved. Personally the state of the world has given me a lot of negativity, but I've turned that around after doing a lot of research. There is a lot of awesome work being done. There are a couple of good resources to see what everybody else is already doing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xc6lkrIv1XORl7b31ARqFXImwhjcm8MQHG1vfoz5G0M/edit#gid=1946455755 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xc6lkrIv1XORl7b31ARq... https://www.thirdway.org/graphic/carbon-capture-projects-map https://www.thirdway.org/graphic/carbon-capture-projects-map http://www.airminers.org/explore http://www.airminers.org/explore I'm very interested in this space, and think there are a lot of other people interested (just as Ycombinator is in its request for carbon removal technologies: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/#carbon https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/#carbon ). I have more resources if people are interested. (On a personal level, I've also made a lot of changes. I stopped eating meat, and renovated our home to be sustainable, by adding a air to water heat pump, solar panels, a solar boiler, an heat recovery system for our shower, ventilation based on CO2 levels so only the necessary heat escapes and of course better insulation. I'm also thinking about creating an excel of my carbon footprint yearly and trying to reduce it/compensate it)
