Mohammed Khan from Immaterial on the need for governments to speed up climate policy

Mohammed Khan and Professor David Fairen-Jimenez join our podcast this time to tell us about their solutions to climate change. They are behind Cambridge-based Immaterial. It builds on monolithic metal organic frameworks combined with engineering design and machine learning to create solutions for carbon capture, hydrogen storage, water harvesting and energy reduction. As chief executive, Mohammed has 27 years' experience in technology commercialisation, creating enterprise value and building partnerships. David leads the development of Immaterials's technology. He is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Reader in Molecular Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge. The Decarbonisation Dialogue podcast is brought to you by Salix. It is presented by Hannah Walker. We enable, and inspire, public sector organisations to move towards net zero and we support the creation of warmer and healthier homes. We deliver and administer government funding schemes that help local councils, schools, housing associations, hospitals and universities and many other public sector organisations.

Professor Myles Allen from the University of Oxford on why fossil fuel suppliers need to deal with our carbon emissions

Hannah's guest this episode is Professor Myles Allen, an internationally renowned scientist, government adviser, sought-after commentator. Myles is Head of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics in the Department of Physics, and Professor of Geosystem Science in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford. In 2005, Professor Allen introduced the notion of a finite carbon budget, implying net zero emissions of carbon dioxide are necessary to halt global warming. He has been working on the implications ever since, most recently on the case for Geological Net Zero or a balance between ongoing production of carbon dioxide from geological sources with carbon dioxide capture and geological storage.
