Could we cure climate change? Geoengineering researcher Tim Kruger wants to try. He shares one promising possibility: using natural gas to generate electricity in a way that takes carbon dioxide out of the air. Learn more -- both the potential and the risks -- about this controversial field that seeks creative, deliberate and large-scale intervention to stop the already catastrophic consequences of our warming planet.

Tim Kruger: Can we stop climate change by removing CO2 from the air?

Can we stop climate change by removing CO2 from the air?

Origen Power Process uses natural gas to generate electricity and remove CO2 from the air, flipping the script on emissions.

Adding lime to seawater could double our carbon absorption efforts, but risks and governance on geoengineering remain vast unknowns.

Harnessing natural gas to generate electricity can be carbon-negative, potentially slashing global CO2 emissions by 60%.
