My research in a nutshell

In this video Stuart describes how industrial society burns fossil carbon for energy and transport, how excess CO2 emissions damage climate and ocean, and how geologists inject liquid CO2 through boreholes into porous reservoirs 1-3km below ground, managing this safely for millennia.
