      There aren’t many uses for carbon dioxide at the moment which is why more applications need to be found. The product i make using carbon dioxide has a lot of applications within industry, predominantly polymers but it can also be used as a starting material for farming (agrochemicals) and potentially medicinal drugs. That is really up to other chemists to find uses for what i have made. My part is making something more useful with carbon dioxide, it is up to other people to use what i have made in their own work.
