Показать описание
The big ambition of the fight against climate change is getting to zero carbon emissions by the middle of this century. It will take all kinds of solutions and we’re looking at some of them here on Roundtable. For the first in our new series Net Zero, carbon capture and storage is a controversial idea - but big companies are standing by to invest billions into it.

Joining us at the Roundtable was:
Eric Lounsbury
Director, Carbon Trust

Andree Frieze
Green Party London Councillor

Jennifer Wilcox
Professor of Chemical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Sara Budinis
Energy Analyst, International Energy Agency


Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.

Indirect capture is the preferred method (less expensive). The resulting products can be recycled back into the energy plant to expend more of them or be supplied to the chemical industry or make articifical limestone.

David-this tech does solve the problem but this is the problem. It makes the problem go away. Some orgs rather have the issue. This tech solves the problem & I'm not concerned about 0%. My feeling is we don't want to gamble on endangering the quality of life we have by removing things we have relied on for a century.

If you combine the 2 methods of co2 capture, go with the new concrete (0% C), biochar, biofuel, you will solve the problem for all intents & purposes. I do not support methods that penalize companies or citizens. In addition, the US, Japan, France, India are making great progress on harnessing fusion.

Until we deal with over population, everything else is just talk.
