The Carbon Removal Show
How do we actually get all this carbon out of the atmosphere?
The Carbon Removal Show team have spent months interviewing the world's experts to distil the key ideas and package them into an engaging audio format. It's now here for you, for free:
Why a podcast?
Making a digestible "go to" resource to understand carbon removal is our way to educate to inspire people at scale
- Reversing climate change is the defining call of our generation and yet only a fraction of people spend their working day actively working on ways to remove carbon from the global economy
- Science and policy are only part of the equation: to get to a prosperous, equitable world not dependent on fossil fuels requires accountants, consultants, entrepreneurs, lawyers, salespeople and others to switch or calibrate their focus towards the environment
- The technology is out there...: huge advances have been made in what's possible to decarbonise the planet
- ... but can it be made viable?: sustainably scaling new technology (i.e. making a profitable business) requires the involvement of business builders
Episodes
Each week, we take on a new topic or technology that gets us closer to removing carbon at scale
