$ 100 million from Musk for anyone who creates a way to get rid of carbon emissions

The famous American billionaire and founder of “SpaceX”, Elon Musk, has promised to offer a big prize money to anyone who devises the best way to capture environmentally harmful carbon dioxide.

Musk said in a tweet on “Twitter” today, Friday, “I will donate 100 million dollars as a prize for the best technology to capture carbon dioxide.” He added in another tweet on the topic “Details next week.”

The “capture” process is a process that includes separating carbon dioxide from the sources that are used in industry and power generation, so that it does not reach the atmosphere in the future, and the goal is to combat environmental pollution and global warming.

The International Energy Agency announced late last year that there is a need to increase the deployment of carbon capture technologies if countries want to achieve zero emissions targets, and the European Union has also announced its intention to spend a trillion euros over the next decade in investments that help reduce polluting emissions For the climate.
