COP26 - Carbon Capture & Storage: Can it save the world?

While world leaders discuss climate change at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, we've been looking at longer-term, left-field ideas.

If we're to avert a climate change catastrophe, our planet’s average temperature cannot rise by more than 1.5 degrees celsius.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has long been talked about. Today, it’s no longer just a pipe dream, it’s a reality. And being put into practice.

We spoke to Dr Niall Mac Dowell from Imperial College London about the potential of Carbon Capture and Storage.
