An Australian business that fronted the COP26 in Glasgow last year with their idea to battle carbon dioxide emissions in competition with 2700 ideas, walked away with the main prize.

Luke Grant speaks to Sophia Hamblin Wang, Chief Operating Officer at Mineral Carbonation International (MCi), a company that converts CO2 emissions into solid objects like building products, cement, and plasterboard - even things like carpet.

Their aim is to lock away one billion tonnes of industrial emissions into usable products by 2040… part of a huge and untapped technological way of reducing emissions. 

In fact, this seems to make solar panels and wind turbines yesterday's news.
