QUEBEC CITY, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CO2 Solution Inc. ("CO2 Solution") is pleased to announce that is has been featured in the recently published book by Jay Ingram of the Discovery Channel entitled The Daily Planet Book of Cool Ideas: Global Warming and What People Are Doing About It. The Company's enzymatic CO2 capture technology is profiled in the book as a solution for large scale reductions in industrial carbon dioxide emissions to mitigate global climate change.
In detailing the application of the Company's technology for transformation of gaseous CO2 to inert bicarbonate, Mr. Ingram stated: "This is one of the advantages of the CO2 Solution process: a cement or pulp and paper plant could use the bicarbonate to generate the (solid) carbonate used in the industrial process, so there would be a closed circle: industry produces carbon dioxide, which is then transformed into bicarbonate and re-enters the manufacturing stream."
In reacting to the coverage by the Discovery Channel, Glenn Kelly, President & CEO stated: "We are delighted to have received this endorsement from Jay Ingram, one of the world's leading voices to the public on breakthrough technologies and processes to solve pressing global challenges. This is a good example of the coverage that CO2 Solution has begun to receive, and we expect further coverage as the importance of climate related technologies continues to grow. "

About CO2 Solution
CO2 Solution Inc. has developed a proprietary bio-technological platform for the efficient capture of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most important greenhouse gas (GHG), from power plants and other large stationary sources of emissions. The Company's technology platform exploits the natural power of a bio-catalyst (enzyme), carbonic anhydrase, which functions within humans and other mammals to manage CO2 during respiration. CO2 Solution has successfully adapted the enzyme to function within an industrial environment, and thus has taken advantage of a biomimetic approach to CO2 capture based on millions of years of evolution. The Company is commercializing its technology for coal fired power generation, the oil sands and other CO2-intensive industries where a low-cost capture solution is key to meeting climate change legislation in a cost effective manner.
