<p>Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals, a fertiliser manufacturing company in Tamil Nadu, India, is using CO2 from its own boiler to make soda ash.</p>
<p>The process, believed to be a world first, involves capturing CO2 and other pollutants from coal and feeding it into a mixing chamber with salt and ammonia, creating baking soda in the process.</p>
<p>The technology comes from Carbon Clean Solutions – an Indian start-up looking to lead the way in CO2 separation technology.</p>
<p>Thermal plants are one of the biggest sources of global CO2 emissions.</p>
<p>Researchers and environmentalists believe that capturing and sequestering these industrial emissions is key to keeping global warming in check, at least until scientists are able to find a way to stop using fossil fuels.</p>
<p>Which is why there is a rush to develop technology that can cheaply capture and separate CO2.</p>
<p>Ramachadran Gopalan, owner of Tuticorin, told the BBC: <i>“I am a businessman. I never thought about saving the planet. I needed a reliable stream of CO2, and this was the best way of getting it.”</i></p>
<p>Tuticorin is expecting to convert some 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions into baking soda and other chemicals every year.</p>
<p>This comes after a team of British scientists last year found a way to rid the atmosphere of excess greenhouse gas by turning it into chalk.</p>
