Pint of Science Oslo, May 2023

Sian Evans, som representerer Basin Study Group ved UiOs institutt for geovitenskap, gikk på talerstolen med en halvliter ingefærøl i hånden. Hennes oppdrag var klart: å overbevise publikum om at CCS (karbonfangst og -lagring) er en avgjørende klimastrategi som trengs.

Sian Evans - Pint of Science 23.May.2023

In her thought-provoking presentation, titled

  "Green-washing Gimmick or Critical Climate Strategy?",

Evans confidently confronted the opposing arguments surrounding CCS. She tackled head on, the involvement of the oil industry and the financial incentive of CCS as a political money-making machine. Rather than focusing on finding flaws in these arguments, her strategy centered around demonstrating that CCS is a safe and feasible solution firmly grounded in scientific.

Evans left the audience inspired and enlightened, urging them to re-evaluate their preconceived notions and embrace CCS as a crucial element in the fight against climate change. Her presentation challenged the audience to think critically, reconsider the potential of CCS, and recognize its significance in shaping a sustainable future.
