Industrial emissions are one of the main sources of climate change-inducing carbon dioxide (CO2). While adopting renewable and clean energy alternatives is one option for mitigating these carbon emissions, carbon capture technology is another solution to control CO2 emissions.

Software is omnipresent in science, and yet it is overlooked everywhere. At a time when scientists (and many others) are talking about code, algorithms or artificial intelligence, software appears in the discourse as just another semantic subtlety. Many facets of software, such as questions about user licenses or file formats, are not part of the definition of code or algorithm.
