eli5: Co2 challenge issue

340 views

Please excuse my ignorance – I’m not a scientist but always wonder: there’s too much CO2 in the atmosphere. There have been successful trials with extracting it from there. CO2 goes into drinks. And yet it is artificially created for that specific purpose. I even heard claims that beer manufacturers have been running short on CO2 due to supply issues and Covid and what not. Can you explain?

The atmospheric concentration of CO2 doesn’t have to be that high to be too high. It’s about 400 ppm or 0.04%. Far too low to extract it from the air at an industrial scale.
