Bicarbonate is a form of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas waste left when your body burns food for energy. Bicarbonate belongs to a group of electrolytes, which help keep your body hydrated and make ...

Carbon dioxide captured from the air ... “substantially reduce the cost of DAC”. The captured CO2 can be converted into sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, with the addition of seawater.

Once the carbon dioxide is captured, it can then be turned into sodium bicarbonate – baking soda – using seawater and released into the ocean at a small concentration. The oceans “are ...
