Title: Our Carbon Problem

Author: Stephanie Seferian

Date Published: June 2023

Key Content: The podcast discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, focusing on removing CO2 from the atmosphere or directly from industrial sources before release. It stresses that trees alone can't absorb current CO2 emission levels, underscoring the need for technological solutions alongside natural carbon sinks. This is especially relevant for Mindanao, given its significant agricultural lands, forests, and marine ecosystems that help sequester carbon. However, these natural sinks face threats from deforestation, land use changes, and environmental pressures. The integration of carbon capture technologies could enhance these natural sinks, aiding the Philippines in achieving its climate objectives.
