#14 Lock it in. Why carbon storage matters.

We all know we need to cut carbon emissions... but what about the carbon that's already out there?

I recently sat down with Garrett Boudinot, founder of Vy-Carb, and he shared a really powerful perspective. He says it's not just about fixing the leaky tap – it's also about mopping up all the water that's already spilled!

Mitigation, reducing our emissions, is absolutely non-negotiable, but if we're serious about hitting our climate targets, we have to think about actively removing and storing carbon too.

Garrett explains both carbon capture and storage, what options are available and the limitations of the technologies out there. He also does a great job of explaining the chemistry of carbon in the ocean so even I can understand it!

From rocks to reactors, and permanence to policy – this one’s packed with insight and impact. If you want to understand why mitigation alone won’t cut it – check out this episode of Carbon Clarity.
