Chemists and engineers, go for it: Musk is giving $ 100 million for a carbon capture reactor. Why is this
“I am allocating $ 100 million for the prize for the best carbon capture technology,” said a businessman-engineer. Probably, the technology is needed by the Mask for the industrial production of methane (CH4) on Mars, where the billionaire intends to establish a colonial base in the coming decades so that humanity becomes an interplanetary species.
