During the drilling and fracking processes, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, can escape into the atmosphere. This contributes to climate change and negates some of the benefits of using natural gas, which has lower carbon emissions than coal or oil. Induced seismicity, or human-caused earthquakes, presents another risk.

Put simply, the term ‘cleantech’ describes a product that aims to reduce or mitigate negative environmental impact. Accounting for eight per cent of the world’s carbon emissions, the current process for making cement is far from eco-friendly. At the same time, carbon dioxide is released and captured, alongside oxygen and hydrogen.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow.
