How can we transform waste CO2 into something valuable?
In this episode of Defining the Future, Claire Rutherford is joined by Dr Daniel Stewart, CEO and co-founder of ViridiCO2. ViridiCO2 technology takes carbon dioxide that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere and turns it into chemicals that can be used in the production of greener and more sustainable products including; consumer personal products, cosmetics, furniture, and clothing.
The conversation explores the technology behind this innovative process, Daniel’s journey from academia to entrepreneurship, and the challenges and opportunities in commercialising sustainable solutions to combat climate change.
They also unpack the realities of launching a startup; from securing funding and building a mission-driven team to scaling with purpose.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
