Where Gas Meets Liquid: Rethinking Carbon Capture for a Net-Zero Future

About this episode

This episode discusses the engineering innovations in carbon capture technology as a necessary solution for reducing emissions and achieving net-zero goals.

The story of climate change is often told through numbers. Rising temperatures, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, and tightening timelines toward global climate targets dominate headlines. Yet behind these numbers lies a quieter, more complex story of engineering innovation. It is a story about how we might redesign industrial systems to reduce emissions without dismantling the infrastructure that modern life depends on. At the center of this effort is carbon capture, a technology that has shifted from theoretical promise to practical necessity.
