Scientists are racing to develop new technologies to capture and store excess carbon dioxide—the most significant source of climate change—alongside worldwide efforts to urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Future Planet shows how cutting-edge technology and natural-based solutions are being created to capture carbon dioxide generated by human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion. Among these are the preservation of historic trees, the addition of dust to agricultural fields, the capture of carbon dioxide from the air, and the installation of technologies that prevent carbon dioxide from leaving power plants and factories.
Learn more about the obstacles that different solutions face, and join the conversation on what steps we should take to prevent climate change. What kind of impact could new technology have? After the carbon dioxide has been captured, what can we do with it? Why can’t we just go out and plant more trees?
