This is the first episode of "Clearing the Air", a three-part series focused on the business of carbon capture, a technology that could help address the climate change crisis by removing excess carbon dioxide right out of the atmosphere. The promise of this approach has launched a raft of companies that not only capture but also store and even reuse the carbon—creating an industry that has attracted several billion dollars of government and investor capital in just the last few years. But the scope of the problem is massive and growing, which means that all of these promising new ideas need to launch and scale quickly.  This series will take you inside the world of carbon capture, guided by innovators and experts at the forefront of the movement who will help you understand what is possible.
