This interdisciplinary book explores how CO2 can become a resource
instead of a waste and, as such, be a tool to meet one of the grandest
challenges humanity is facing: climate change. Drawing on a Norwegian
narrative that has significance for a global audience, Øyvind Stokke
and Elin Oftedal introduce in-depth, multi-perspective analyses of a
sustainable innovation research experiment in industrial carbon
capture and utilisation technologies. Building on extensive literature
within marine sciences, sustainability research, and environmental
philosophy and ethics, this book documents how a misplaced resource
like CO2 can become valuable within a circular economy in its own
right, while at the same time meeting the challenge of food security
in a world where food production is increasingly under pressure. The
book is diverse in scope and includes chapters on how to reduce the
environmental footprint of aquaculture by replacing wild fish and soy
from the Amazon, how to optimise the monitoring of aquatic
environments via smart technologies, and how to replace materials
otherwise sourced from natural environments. The authors also analyse
the pivotal role of the university in driving innovation and
entrepreneurship, the pitfalls of different carbon technologies, and
explore how the link between petroleum dependence and CO2 emissions
has been addressed in Norway specifically. Making CO2 a Resource will
be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change,
environmental ethics, environmental philosophy, sustainable business
and innovation, and sustainable development more broadly.
