Andrew Mendez writes in TechCrunch on Twelve, a company that is turning CO2 into products.

- As more companies plan to cut emissions by investing in carbon capture or direct air capture, Twelve’s technology will be increasingly important.
- Twelve has begun to make sunglasses with recycled carbon that retail for $495.
- Private sector innovation like this will play a crucial role in reaching climate goals.
