This chapter examines the challenges and advancements in carbon removal technologies, focusing on carbon capture and storage, and introducing an innovative ocean-based approach to efficiently absorb CO2. The discussion highlights the complexities of existing methods and emphasizes the potential for scalable solutions to combat climate change. It also underscores the urgent need for diverse technologies and funding to achieve ambitious carbon reduction goals.
The Sunday Times’ tech correspondent Danny Fortson brings on Steve Oldham of Captura, to talk about why sucking CO2 out of the air is not a bad idea (6:30), using the ocean (10:00), their contraption (11:15), whether it can be done at scale (16:45), the maths of climate solutions (19:00), paying for it (21:00), the evolution of carbon removal tech (26:00), moving to Canada from England (30:00), how the space industry is like climate (31:45), the role of regulation (34:15), raising $60m (37:45), and politics (41:30).
