We're four weeks into our exploration of how to remove carbon from the atmosphere and put it to use on earth and we've hit 350,000 page views! Here are the 10 most popular stories so far.

Planting trees "doesn't make any sense" in the fight against climate change say experts

A string of carbon experts have pointed out that afforestation is an unreliable way of removing atmospheric CO2 since it's hard to guarantee the forests will remain intact long enough to provide long-term sequestration.

With over 90,000 page views and 80 comments, this has been by far the most popular and controversial story of the series.

"We're  CO2 out of the system" says carbon-capturing concrete maker Carbicrete

Our interview with Carbicrete CEO Chris Stern explains how cement, which is responsible for eight per cent of greenhouse gas emissions, can be turned into a carbon store rather than a carbon emitter.

"One tonne of olivine sand can take in up to one tonne of CO2" says Teresa van Dongen

This Dutch designer has created a library of materials that can sequester carbon.

One of the most promising is olivine, an abundant mineral that can neutralise carbon dioxide equivalent to its own mass.

Using "ancient wisdoms and techniques" can lead to carbon-neutral buildings says Yasmeen Lari

Being carbon neutral doesn't have to involve advanced technologies and complex calculations, according to the Pakistani architect. Building with humble natural materials can be even more effective.

Hemp "more effective than trees" at sequestering carbon says Cambridge researcher

Hemp can capture twice as much carbon per hectare than a forest can, according to Darshil Shah. The problem is that current regulations prevent it from being grown freely in the UK.
