​Captured Carbon Studio was started in 2020 by visual artist Annalee Levin as a space to explore captured carbon as an art medium and an avenue through which to educate the public about climate change and how we can work toward reversing it.

The artwork, textiles, and consumer products of Captured Carbon Studio contain upcycled CO2 emissions or captured carbon.

Climate change is a multifaceted issue. Solving it requires interconnected solutions ranging from shifts in cultural ideals to governmental policies; from changes in personal habits to large scale industrial solutions. Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) is a lesser known idea in the sphere of climate change solutions. It is the process of capturing CO2 emissions either from a concentrated source such as factory flue or from the air through a process called direct air capture. That CO2 can then be reused, stored, or sequestered in new products such as those made by Captured Carbon Studio.
