article_snippet.sent: We may be told that fizzy drinks aren’t good for We health, but there's a chance that fizzy drinks could be beneficial to the planet.
article_snippet.sent: An Australian government report suggests that carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels could be captured and used to produce the fizz in Cola.
article_snippet.sent: This implies that as well as investigating the production of biofuels, carbon dioxide could be stashed in fizzy drinks.
article_snippet.sent: Of course, cans of fizzy drinks emit gas when they are opened, as shown by the sharp hissing noise, and there is no mention of how this gas could be captured too.
article_snippet.sent: The Register obtained consumption data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that suggest 944 million litres of fizzy drinks are consumed in Australia in a year.
article_snippet.sent: It’s previously been calculated that there are 2.2 grams of carbon dioxide in a typical can of Coke, which means that just over 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions could be saved if the gas was captured in cans – and not released again.
article_snippet.sent: It's estimated that 3,299 tonnes of carbon dioxide are released every day from people drinking Coca Cola alone, according to an article in the Herald Sun.
highlights_snippet.sent: Includes mention of gas from fossil fuels being used to make fizzy drinks .
