A UK company named Skydiamond hopes to revolutionize the traditional diamond mining industry by using carbon capture technology to do just that. The company calls it a ‘zero-impact diamond’ because the process pulls carbon dioxide right out of the air. Although, a diamond traps only a modest amount of carbon — one carat contains just 200 milligrams.
This company hopes to make synthetic diamonds from carbon that’s sucked out of the air. But just how eco-friendly are these manufactured gems?
