The following ideas were submitted by early adopters in a previous round of the Innovate to Mitigate challenge:

• Miniaturized “scrubbers” that remove dissolved CO2 from ocean water
• “Wave generators” adapted to use the horizontal motion of water in rivers
• Using recycled tubing to focus sunlight and create biochar more efficiently

Check out all the entries from our pilot challenge at http://innovatepilot.videohall.com, and go here to see sample abstracts from past challenges!

This Promising Ideas section should give you an idea of what's possible, and hopefully can spark new ideas of your own! Check out what innovators around the world are doing.
