Although carbon capture technology is in use now, there are quite a few hurdles to jump before it becomes widely used. Laura, Jasmin and Antonia are joined by a live audience from the Engineering Development Trust's Routes to STEM course to talk about industrial applications of carbon capture in various industries. They field questions from the audience about the wider energy industry, discuss how options for storage compare to using the gas in a circular carbon economy and consider whether planting trees really can make a company carbon negative.

They mention several other episodes during the conversation, possibly more than ever before (because everything is connected!):

  • Ep 18. Why can't we such carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
  • Ep 59. What are E-fuels?

  • Ep 26. Should we control the weather or get better at predicting it?
