👁The massive machines removing carbon from Earth's atmosphere
🧠Jan Wurzbacher
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣To restrain global warming, we know we need to drastically reduce pollution. The very next step after that: using both natural and technological solutions to trap as much excess carbon dioxide from the air as possible. Enter Orca, the world's first large-scale direct air capture and storage plant, built in Iceland by the team at Climeworks, led by climate entrepreneur Jan Wurzbacher. This plant is capable of removing 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. With affordability and scalability in mind, Wurzbacher shares his vision for what comes after Orca, the future of carbon removal tech -- and why these innovations are crucial to stop climate change.

🧠Shannon Odell
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣A hydrogen atom is traveling high within the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere. This particular atom first entered the exosphere millions of years ago, but today it overcomes Earth's gravitational pull and escapes, joining the roughly 90 tons of material that leak out of our atmosphere each day. Should we be worried about these leaks? Shannon Odell digs into our planet's imperfect plumbing. [Directed by Eva Münnich, Strange Beast, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁Why your phone battery gets worse over time
🧠George Zaidan
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

George Zaidan digs into the science of batteries. [Directed by Luisa Holanda, narrated by George Zaidan, music by Gabriel Maia].
