to achieve the $1.00 degree targets or the 2 degree targets. that has been set now internationally british columbia now gets 98 percent of its electricity from sustainable sources but fuel still comes from gas and oil along with all the associated air pollution so jordan sturdy campaign for the canadian government to invest in a carbon dioxide research project now north of vancouver in squamish. a test plant runs filtering c o 2 out of the air project manager steve oldman explains the rather simple principle centrally it's a big fan so i found that holds the air in and then it pulls it through a filter that filter has a chemical drop in through it like this and by doing so we capture 80 percent 80 percent of the c o 2 from the yeah so we make calcium carbonate as part of our

process you would know calcium carbonate as seashells the c o 2 was burnt sometime in the 18th century or maybe on your flight over from your up and we captured it and we come but it's into these pallets da mr turner air into fuel a synthetic fuel for all combustion engines 10 years ago jeffrey holmes co-founded the project a kind of recycling plant for c o 2. what we do differently as opposed to taking fuels refined from crude oil and burning them which puts carbon dioxide in the atmosphere we take the carbon from the atmosphere we take hydrogen from water and we recombine them into fuel that way when the fuels burned the carbon is released back to the atmosphere where it came from and we have a close cycle jordan sturdy would only be too happy to use c o 2 neutral fuel for his quad and his tractors it would mean the massive investment and paid off and another piece in the global puzzle of solving the climate crisis would be firmly in
