Carbon removals technologies go beyond the more traditional carbon capture or tree-planting. They look at how to draw carbon directly out of the air so it can no longer cause the damaging greenhouse effect.

Research into this area is ramping up, with a number of options on the table from Direct Air Capture to enhanced rock weathering. As with many aspects of the energy transition, the funding is growing but still the regulatory landscape is playing catch up.

Joining Watt Matters to discuss this emerging sector is Dr Steve Smith, executive director of Oxford Net Zero and CO2RE—the UK's national research hub on greenhouse gas removal—at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, part of the University of Oxford.

Steve and the Watt Matters team examine where the sector stands today, what its impact could be in the 2030s, and whether it could risk becoming a distraction from carbon reduction efforts.
