In the third batch of programmes he meet the experts behind a selection of fascinating carbon-cutting ideas; the Canadian who can produce a plate of scallops whilst absorbing the ocean's carbon dioxide, the Swedes who can make steel without fossil fuels and the central American fridge detectives who hunt down illegal planet-destroying chemicals.
