Carbon capture is a technology that aims to mitigate the release of carbon dioxide, CO2, into the atmosphere, a major contributor to climate change.

In a year of upheaval, including worries about conventional energy supplies, the prospects for alternative energy sources should be front and center for investors.

Did you know that there is a company that can capture 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year? Unfortunately, it is privately held so you can’t invest in it. Yet, there are publicly traded stocks involved in the business of capturing carbon.

Green energy may be the future, but it’s still having a rough time in the present while shares of conventional fossil fuel companies extend last year’s strong bull run.

Alternative energy may be the future, but the past isn’t dead yet. Companies focused on developing and selling fossil fuels are having another moment in the sun.
