Abstract Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming. The purpose of this innovation is to reduce net carbon emissions by utilizing the Limestone Cycle. It was hypothesized that by using the Limestone cycle this innovation can undergo a two-step reaction that results in net negative atmospheric carbon. The results indicate that the overall process was carbon negative and therefore supported our hypothesis.
