Carbon dioxide, or CO₂ for short, is connected to carbon. Carbon is the base of this compound, which has two oxygen atoms (O₂) attached to it. CO₂ plays a role in the carbon cycle. During the photosynthesis process, plants take in carbon dioxide, split it, use the carbon to build sugars and other organic molecules, and release oxygen which goes back to the atmosphere. Urea, for example, is a chemical that can be produced using CO₂. In such industrial operations, CO₂ acts as a source of carbon. It is important to understand how we can reduce CO₂ emissions and make better use of carbon containing compounds, such as in CCU (carbon capture and utilization) technologies that seek to transform CO₂ into useful substances, effectively completing the carbon cycle and helping to ease climate change effects.
