Abstract: Carbon dioxide is a major component of greenhouse gases; however, with the advancement of technology, it can be transformed into various useful forms. Through anthropomorphism, this paper introduces the diverse applications of carbon dioxide, such as its transformation into various compounds through catalytic conversion, its use as a supercritical fluid, and as an energy storage medium. This approach allows readers to understand the immense potential of carbon dioxide in an engaging way, while also planting the seeds of bold exploration in young minds, inspiring them to embrace the goal of “turning waste into treasure.”

Key words: Carbon dioxide, Greenhouse gas, Technological development, Conversion and utilization
