In today's world, where all of us are trying to be more environmentally responsible, this episode of Down to Business English is very timely.
Co-hosts Samantha Vega and Skip Montreux not only talk about the important topic of carbon capture technology but also help you to improve your business English vocabulary and listening comprehension skills.
Perfect for anyone wanting to learn about the balance between technology and taking care of our environment while at the same time developing their English listening fluency.
Samantha and Skip talk about carbon capture, a method that could greatly reduce the carbon footprint of industries. They look at two main types: Point Source Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). CCS focuses on capturing carbon from places like factory smokestacks, while DAC aims to remove CO2 that's already in the air.
Listeners wanting to get better at understanding business English will find the discussion about the costs of carbon capture very useful. Skip and Samantha talk about:
- How much CCS and DAC cost now, and how these costs might go down as the industry grows.
- How ANA is working with 1PointFive to reduce its carbon emissions using DAC technology.
- What governments in the United States and Europe are doing to support carbon capture technology.
