Today we’re at the UK Greenhouse Gas Removal Event, a gathering of researchers, policy makers and businesses, to discuss the state of carbon removal in the UK today.
CO2RE, the greenhouse gas removal hub led by Oxford University and the hosts of the event, were kind enough to ask us to host a pair of panels across the two day conference.
We caught up with friends old and new to bring you the latest expert insight on the current state of carbon removal in the country we call home.

The Carbon Removal Show
The facts are clear - the planet is heating up because of emissions humans are putting into the atmosphere.
Even if we are able to cut out all our carbon emissions as fast as possible, we would still need to remove carbon we've already put in the atmosphere to hit global temperature targets.
Join Emily Swaddle and Tom Previte as they explore the world of carbon removal. What is it? Why is it necessary? How does it work? And who is doing it?
Along the way they'll be speaking to the people who are working to make carbon removal a widespread reality.
