What’s the real deal with carbon capture? Sucking carbon out of the air may sound like an enticing solution, but climate advocate and investor James Mwangi warns that the technology is too often used to justify polluting behaviour rather than prevent it. As he puts it, it’s the difference between endlessly cleaning up a messy room versus simply not making the mess in the first place. Furthermore, the technology is very energy intensive; but Kenya, with 96% renewable energy, is uniquely positioned to provide this technology, says Mwangi. Recorded live in conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst at TED Countdown 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.
