Is there a low-carbon future for the oil industry?  As the debate over climate change evolves, can the oil industry be saviours rather than villains, through the capture and underground storage of carbon dioxide?  Challenging the prejudices of both environmentalists and the oil industry, Bryan Lovell spoke to a mixed audience of policy-makers, oil industry figures and others, on the subject of his recently published book ‘Challenged by Carbon: The Oil Industry and Climate Change’.

The talk was followed by a debate, and an opportunity for informal conversation with the author and other guests.
