Nova: Chasing Carbon Zero by WFYI

The U.S. recently set an ambitious climate change goal: zero carbon emissions by 2050. And to achieve that, slash emissions in half by 2030. Is it possible? And what kind of technology would it take? Chasing Carbon Zero takes a hard look at the problem and identifies the most likely real-world technologies that could be up to the task. From expanding renewable energy options, to revolutionizing the transportation sector, to “negative emissions” technologies, the film casts a skeptical but hopeful eye. Meet scientists and engineers who are convinced we can achieve carbon zero in time to avoid the biggest impacts of climate change. (Premiering April 26 at 9 pm on PBS)
