Net Zero Festival: Negative emissions – capturing the opportunity
VIDEO: Dr Steve Smith from Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment chats to James Murray about the challenges and potential of negative emissions technologies
Carbon reduction strategies are no longer enough – the world needs to start actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere if it is to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
As such, it is now increasingly recognised that negative emissions technologies will play a vital role in helping the world reach net zero. But what are these technologies, how can the UK take a global leadership role in deploying these vital solutions, and how can businesses benefit from them?
Leading expert on negative emissions technologies Dr Steve Smith – executive director for Oxford Net Zero and CO2RE at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment – sat down for a discussion with BusinessGreen’s editor in chief James Murray to try and shine a light on the many forms, benefits and challenges associated with such systems.
