With only 6000 years of life left the temperature rockets to 620 million degrees, to convert carbon into neon.

This system is converting carbon from smokestacks into baking soda.

The algal symbionts convert inorganic carbon into carbohydrates for use by each partner and release oxygen to the animal host in the process.

Researchers believe these sub-ice environments to be biologically active, in that microbes are converting organic carbon to carbon dioxide and methane.

"Enough pressure can convert black carbon into diamond," Arlo said.

In upper ocean areas of high biological productivity, organisms convert reduced carbon to tissues, or carbonates to hard body parts such as shells and tests.

It's the complete set needed for laboratory bench-type lectures to atomically convert carbon up two atomic numbers to oxygen or carbon down five numbers to hydrogen.

Catalysts convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, which is less toxic, but equally polluting to the environment.

This would be done in a refinery where raw coal is used to remove silicon and convert carbon from a graphitic form to a combined form.

Aerobic respiration converts organic carbon into carbon dioxide and a particular type of anaerobic respiration converts it into methane.
