What if carbon dioxide emissions could be transformed from a liability into an asset?
That's the $20 million question behind the NRG COSIA Carbon XPrize, a global competition to create technology that converts CO2 into valuable products.
"In energy and climate, few ideas are as potentially transformative as the idea of turning the economics of CO2 and climate change on its head," said Marcius Extavour, director of technical operations for the prize.

An iceberg expected to be one of the 10 largest ever recorded is ready to break away from Antarctica, scientists say.
A long-running rift in the Larsen C ice shelf grew suddenly in December and now just 20km of ice is keeping the 5,000-square-kilometre piece from floating away.
Larsen C is the most northern major ice shelf in Antarctica.
Researchers based in Swansea say the loss of a piece a quarter of the size of Wales will leave the whole shelf vulnerable to future break-up.

Water levels in the Moira River watershed and its eastern neighbours remain below normal, but Quinte Conservation staff have ended their low-water warnings.
The warnings had begun last summer as levels dropped and some wells ran dry.
"Removing the warning does not mean that water supply levels have returned to normal for all people in the watershed," general manager Terry Murphy said recently in a press release.

A fossilized fruit dating back 52 million years has been discovered in South America.
The ancient berry belongs to a family of plants that includes popular foods such as potatoes, tomatoes and peppers.
The plant family's early history is largely unknown as, until now, only a few seeds have been found in the fossil record.
Scientists say the origins of the class go back much further than previously thought, by tens of millions of years.
