In this second episode of the three-part Sciencetown series on innovative portable technologies, Julie West chats with William Roberts, a professor of mechanical engineering at KAUST, and the director of the Clean Combustion Research Center.
Bill discusses his work developing and deploying cryogenic carbon capture technologies to mitigate pollutants, including portable units designed to capture emissions from ships. He explains why carbon capture and storage are not only viable, efficient and economical climate solutions, but also essential to the energy transition.
