The Challenges for Nanotechnology

The scale of the problem is immense. We need to be removing something like 10 to 20 gigatons of greenhouse gases from our atmosphere in order to have a hope of moving toward net zero future.

There is no policy nor legislation in New South Wales to actually use this technology. So that gives you just a flavour of some of the challenges, not just at the nanoscale, but also at the socio-political and economic scale.
