The Future of Energy

In this Cambridge University film, three academics look at wind power, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and material efficiency as examples of how we can cut our carbon dioxide emissions. Demand for energy is sky-rocketing and producing enough energy to meet this demand has significant environmental impacts and could cause catastrophic climate change. They suggest that we must act now in order to avoid the serious risks of man-made global warming, one of our greatest challenges in the 21st century.
