Carbon is Pervasive
Heavy Industry

SteelSteelmaking, ferroalloy production, and other industrial
processes use carbon as a reagent

Transportation Fuels
High energy density fuels allow for cars, boats, and planes
Liquid Fuels

Chemical Products
Carbon forms the backbone of all organic chemicaland material products

Nutrition
Our biochemistry is entirely dependent on carbon,
as is all of the food that we eat

All food contains carbon

DNA: The green is carbon.
