Did you know there are at least 16 different ways to capture carbon—and some of them actually generate water? Others, however, could increase water consumption at power plants by up to 30%. In this episode, Rhys and Divya unpack the complex relationship between water and carbon capture technologies, where scale-up is accelerating and trade-offs are becoming harder to ignore.

They also turn their focus to AI: data centers powering tools like ChatGPT are guzzling up to 5 million gallons of water a day. Every prompt has a footprint—and it’s not just digital. From ceramic membranes in Memphis to new cooling metrics like WUE, the discussion surfaces the hidden water costs of decarbonisation and digitisation alike.

Both topics are the subject of upcoming BlueTech web briefings, where the team will go deeper with invited experts. And as always, there’s a full research report available for each—covering the data, players, and technologies shaping these fast-evolving sectors.
