The company would take those almond shells and other types of biomass, convert them into a carbon-rich oil, and inject the oil deep underground. Strange as it may sound, demand for this service — a form of what’s called “ carbon removal ” — was just beginning to grow. That’s where carbon removal comes in.

The National Geographic Society found that 91% of the world’s plastic was not recycled in 2018. Oil drilling, also known as fracking, wastes water, releases methane into the atmosphere, produces oil spills and generally wreaks havoc on the environment. In 2018, the recycling rate for plastic bottles was just over 29%.
