CO2 REMOVAL- HOT TOPIC AT COP28

DR KATHRYN HAYHOE AND SIR DAVID KING

COURTESY OF COVERING CLIMATE NOW

What’s the difference between “carbon dioxide removal” (CDR) and “carbon capture and storage” (CCS)? And what role might each play in decarbonizing the global economy fast enough to avoid climate breakdown? CCNow held a press briefing on November 9 to get journalists up to speed on the complicated, sometimes confusing technologies of CDR and CCS, both of which are expected to be major points of contention at COP28.

PANELISTS

• Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, Chief Scientist of The Nature Conservancy and Distinguished Professor at Texas Tech University
• Sir David King, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and former chief science adviser to the UK government

Mark Hertsgaard, CCNow’s executive director, moderated the conversation.
