Environment
CO2 is the main part of the carbon cycle. It takes part in the exchange of carbon between living beings, the atmosphere and photosynthetic constituents.
This natural cycle is saturated and unbalanced due to industrial emissions of CO2. This CO2 does not belong to the natural carbon cycle and comes from a previous cycle whereby petroleum was formed.
Fossil fuel originated from the transformation of CO2 into simple organic carbon molecules due to the action of marine micro-organisms by means of photosynthesis. The problem of using fossil fuels indiscriminately over recent decades stems from the fact that capturing and recycling the CO2 emissions resulting from their combustion was not foreseen.
Although it is possible that we may have reserves of fossil energies for the coming decades, the undermining of the environmental balance of the biosphere on which life depends forces us as a species to reconsider the viability of continuously burning fossil fuel with the subsequent increase in CO2 emissions.
Burning fuel or carbon will become a luxury in the near future if we do not find a way to neutralize or recycle the CO2.
