Carbon capture, use, and storage | Talk of Alaska

How does the technology behind carbon capturing and storage work? Can Alaska profit from this technology while helping to reduce global CO2 emissions? It may sound too good to be true, but state experts say Alaska's Cook Inlet has the best tidewater access storage on the entire west coast of North America. There's also a lot of potential storage space in aging fields on the North Slope. But how does the technology work, and what could it mean for the industry and state revenue? We discuss the potential for carbon sequestration on this Talk of Alaska.
