Green Tech With A Twist with Shannon Bonke and Zhuangnan Li

from King's of Curiosity with Gillian Tett

We hear a lot about innovations in green technology, but what is really in the pipeline? Carbon is pitched as enemy number 1, but could we be using it for a cleaner future? And are we anywhere closer to extending the life of the lithium-based battery? Gillian talks to 2 researchers who are dreaming up the technologies of tomorrow. Shannon Bonke wants to use Lego bricks to attain a carbon negative state, while Zhuangan Li thinks electric vehicles could do with spending more time at a hotsprings. Carbon capture and sulfur-enfused batteries are the topic of the day on this episode of King's of Curiosity.
