Bio

I share my time between the University of Oxford and a start-up, Origen. At Oxford, I founded- and have run for the past eleven years - an initiative which explores the whole range of techniques for removing CO2 from the air. I am the Founder of Origen, which is developing technology which uses the lime cycle to remove CO2 from the air.

I'm passionate about

Restoring the atmosphere back to a state that is compatible with a stable climate and healthy oceans

An idea worth spreading

To halt climate change at 1.5C we will need to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the air each year. We have the technology to do just that in a safe, permanent and cost-effective way.
