fueled by new investment and start-up experimentation. carbon capture is what it sounds like, trapping and storing carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. but carbon capture has its critics. they say the technology is too expensive, doesn't do enough to reduce co2 in the atmosphere, and is, in fact, enabling some of the planet's biggest polluters. ben tracy has the story. >> this place is basically pulling in pollution that we put up into the sky. >> exactly. >> reporter: what's happening here may not look like much. >> it is a bunch of rocks sitting on -- >> reporter: but this man says it has the power to rewrite history. >> what carbon immobile offers us is the closest team to a time machine. >> reporter: it first opened the nation's first carbon capture plant in central california. trays of limestone tower 40 feet high, sucking in carbon dioxide from the air like a sponge. in nature, that process takes

months. >> what we figured out is how to do that in about three days. so when co2 molecules pass by, we're just gobbling up that co2 molecule. >> reporter: the co2 is separated out and will be injected into rock formations underground like at this facility so it can no longer warm the planet. over time, humans have pumped about 2 trillion tons of co2 into the air. scientists say we need to remove 5 billion to 10 billion tons per year by 2050 do avoid the worst impacts of climate change. heirloom says its pie lot plant removes about 1,000 tons per year. >> so you acknowledge that this is very small compared to the scale of the problem? >> 100%. we need to build plants that are 1,000 times larger than this, and we need to build 1,000 of those. >> so you've got a lot of space here. >> yeah, absolutely. >> reporter: at this warehouse in arkansas, a start-up called graphite is taking leftover material from timber and rice mills and locking away the

carbon dioxide that plants naturally remove from the atmosphere through photo sin that sis. >> this is 50% carbon. >> 50% carbon in that material right there, and it's dry. because it's dry, it won't decompose. >> reporter: before the material releases its stored carbon, graphite turns it into bricks, wraps them up, and buries them underground at sites like this one, the size of 30 football fields. >> so this is where carbon goes to die? >> exactly. it's going into the ground, and it will stay here forever. >> reporter: as we transiion to cleaner forms 68 energy, carbon capture is a way to offset emissions from airplanes, cargo ships, and industries like cement and steel, which for now still require fossil fuels. but critics worry carbon capture is being co-opted by oil and gas companies. >> as a carbon management leader, we can get it done. >> 90% of the carbon capture and storage projects out there on the market are run by the fossil fuel industry. >> reporter: may buvy is executive director of 350.org,

which opposes fossil fuel use. that industry is capturing carbon at some flower plants to lower emissions. critics say that's prolonging the use of fossil fuels. some oil companies also inject captured carbon back into the ground to push out more oil in a process called enhanced oil recovery. >> they've looked for excuse after excuse about how to stay in this business and how to keep the music playing. >> reporter: both graphite and heirloom say they're not affiliated with the fossil fuel industry and are just trying to clean up the mess that's already in the atmosphere. companies including american airlines pay graphite to offset their emissions. >> would you take money from an oil and gas company that wants to offset their emissions? >> i'm just not going to answer that question right now. >> that leaves it open that maybe you would. >> i believe in solving climate change, and i am encouraging the fossil fuel industry to do everything they can to, you

know, reduce their emissions. >> reporter: sha shonk samal la also won't rule out taking fossil fuel money, but he believes carbon capture is an essential part of the solution to the climate crisis. >> unfortunately it's not an eith either/or. this is a must have. >> reporter: i'm ben tracy in tral california. climate change is also at the hart of a new united nations report that shows a fifth of the world's wildlife is at risk of extinction, and nearly 50% of all species are in decline. ian lee reports from london. >> reporter: billions of animals are on the move every year, heading to different environments to feed and breed as seasons change. from african elephants searching for water to turtles crossing seas to nest -- >> nature knows no borders. >> reporter: a first ever report on the state of the world's migratory species reveals 1 in 5 animals is threatened with extinction, and 44% are seeing

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." president biden warned today that russia is about to pay the price in the form of major sanctions for the death of russian opposition leader alexei navalny. the white house says the

sanctions will be announced friday right before the world marks two years since the start of russia's invasion of ukraine. we get details now from cbs's nancy cordes. >> reporter: just before jetting to l.a., the president warned vladimir putin a new financial crackdown is coming. >> i told you we'd be announcing sanctions on russia. we'll have a major package announced on friday. >> reporter: the move comes just four days after russian authorities announced the death of famed opposition leader alexei navalny, who had appeared perfectly healthy in a virtual court hearing the day before. today navalny's mother showed up at the gates of the arctic penal colony where he was imprisoned.
