Around the world, scientists and entrepreneurs are pouring
billions into researching new ways of storing carbon dioxide. We
look at a scheme in India to put CO2 in rocks and research in the
UK using kelp. Will either of them be effective?

Host Graihagh Jackson dives into the waters off Britain's
southern coast to find out more about the magical powers of kelp,
while Chhavi Sachdev visits a tea plantation in Darjeeling which
is hoping to diversify into carbon sequestration.
