In episode 380 of the “Welt der Physik” podcast, Felix Havermann, scientific coordinator of the CDRterra research project, explains current approaches to CO₂ removal from the atmosphere. The focus is on technological and natural processes that can actively capture carbon dioxide that has already been emitted - such as through reforestation, direct air capture, or underground storage.
The episode explores the physical principles behind these methods, as well as their potential and limitations in the context of climate protection. It becomes clear that CO₂ removal can be an important complement to emissions reduction, but it does not replace it. A combination of various measures remains crucial for achieving long-term climate goals.
