The U.S. recently set an ambitious climate change goal: net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. And to achieve that, slash emissions in half by 2030. Is it possible? And what kind of technology would it take? Meet scientists and engineers who are convinced we can achieve carbon zero in time to avoid the biggest impacts of climate change.

This climate change documentary focuses on avenues available for making progress, while capturing the passion of protesters and activists who understand the perils of maintaining business as usual.

The main cause of climate change is the emission into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas that is released by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal. To reduce these emissions and slow climate change, some scientists have developed a technology called carbon capture and storage, in which CO2 is extracted and stored in underground facilities. In early 2023, Exxon Mobil, one of the world's largest oil companies, began using this...
