As COP26 continues, we revisit a conversation from Iceland, where scientists are using new technology to capture carbon emissions and inject them into basalt deposits.

The carbon atoms bind with the rock and become a natural non-polluting part of the environment. Some scientists are calling it a potential solution to the global climate crisis.

We revisit host Robin Young's conversation with Sandra Ósk Snæbjörnsdóttir, Kári Helgason and Andri Magnason.

This segment aired on November 8, 2021.
