Carbon Matters

Recorded just prior to COP 26, in this episode Amy Ruddock, VP Europe for Carbon Engineering talks with Steven Hall and Tom Mansfield (Carbon Removal Centre) on the developments of Direct Air Carbon Capture as a tool for carbon dioxide removal and its potential to supply non-fossil sourced carbon to industrial process such as synthetic aviation fuel.  Carbon Removal Centre  https://carbonremovalcentre.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/company/carbon-removal-centre Carbon Engineering:   https://carbonengineering.com/  The McKinsey and Negative Emissions Coalition report that Amy refers to in the show:   https://coalitionfornegativeemissions.org/the-case-for-negative-emissions-executive-summary/

In this bonus edition of Carbon Matters - host Stephen Hall from the Carbon Removal Centre goes beyond typical Carbon Removal techniques to chat to Pieter van der Gaag and Ashleigh Brown from the Ecosystem Restoration Camp organisation.

In this episode our guest, Mathilde Fajardy, research associate in energy technology at the Universtity of Cambridge, joins our hosts:  Patricia Silva (Carbon Removal Centre) and Max Phillips (ANEC - Applied Negative Emissions Centre). Covering the basics of what BECCs is, through to why it features so prominently in 1.5 and 2 degree pathways and the opportunities and challenges it potentially presents.

In this episode we explore the potential of the oceans to act as a carbon sink with our guest Sophie Gill, from the University of Oxford, specialising in Greenhouse Gas Removal through enhanced weathering.  Sophie shares with us insights from the work she has been conducting on coccolithophores, carbon cliffs and the importance of marine health for protecting the planet. This episode of CARBON MATTERS is hosted by Chloe Foster, from the Applied Negative Emissions Centre, and Adam Gray, from the Carbon Removal Centre.

Delving into the science of enhanced weathering, Associate Professor Dr Phil Renforth from Heriot-Watt university and the Research Centre for Carbon Solutions, joins Dr Stephen Hall to explain how pulverising rocks and construction waste could be used as a carbon removal technique (aka ‘enhanced weathering’), the potential benefits, risks and logistical challenges associated with it and the next steps in scaling up these efforts. Join our conversation and find out how new technology can be integrated into existing systems, creating a low carbon future.

In this inaugural episode of CARBON MATTERS,  Dr. Stephen Hall talks with Dr Saran Sohi, biochar and soil specialist at the UK Biochar Research Centre, exploring the properties of Biochar and its potential use as a tool for carbon removal.  They discuss the history of the material, its potential role in addressing challenges facing modern agriculture and the ways in which the adoption of biochar could be scaled-up to a national level.
