Decarbonization of Natural Gas in the Spotlight

For our season 2 finale episode (!!!) , we're looking forward
to new types of decarbonization strategies that can make all the
difference in how our energy needs can change to survive climate
change. Renewable energy and even more extreme technologies are
great, but there are also baby steps that we can use in the
fossil fuel industry to reduce our carbon footprint and make a
smoother transition. PhD candidate and SPOT member Elsa Koninckx
tells us more about shale gas, how fossil fuel companies are
starting to make positive changes, and what energy changes we
should look for in the future!
