Climate change is upon us. Fires, droughts, hurricanes, sea level rise, and melting ice caps are all part of our new normal. But something else is happening as well. Scientists, innovators, organizations, cities, companies, and citizens are taking action, making progress, and finding solutions. Climate Break brings you stories of climate progress and interviews with climate innovators from California and around the world, in under 2 minutes. Our solution-oriented, radio-ready shows are produced by students and climate law and policy experts at the University of California, Berkeley. Climate Br...

Geological carbon sequestration injects carbon dioxide captured from an industrial or energy-related source into underground geologic formations. Biological carbon sequestration refers to the storage of...

Direct Air Capture: Direct air capture (DAC) refers to the process of extracting large quantities of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using man-made technologies. Methods vary, and some are more energy efficient than others. Most DAC technologies function like mechanical trees: through a sequence of chemical reactions, they consume air rich in CO2, suck out the carbon dioxide and then release cl...
