The aim of the $20 million NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE is to challenge the world to reimagine what we can do with CO2 emissions by incentivizing and accelerating the development of technologies that convert CO2 into valuable products. These technologies could potentially transform how the world approaches CO2 mitigation, and reduce the cost of managing CO2.
