Carbon Removal with UNDO CEO Jim Mann

With 40 days until COP28, expect to be hearing a lot more about carbon removal. We spoke with one of the UK’s leading founders in the space - Jim Mann of UNDO, the UK-based pioneer in enhanced rock weathering. Jim tells Richard Delevan why we can’t just plant a trillion trees to draw down CO2, whether carbon removals creates a moral hazard that gives oil and gas a longer license to operate, and the challenges of scaling. Subscribe to our newsletter at wicked problems.uk.Jim’s Catalysts:Al Gore’s An Inconvenient TruthThe New Climate War by Michael E.
