Anth and Rex are in for Sunday.

How will commercial shipping get to netzero by 2050? Hear Rex talk about a few of the cutting edge vessels helping to provide solutions. This will be a multidisciplinary approach with low, or zero emission fuels and a return to sail. At present several shipping lines are returning to the days of old, building new commercial sailing vessels, and retro-fitting sails to bulk carriers.  One outstanding company is Neoliner. This French business is investing serious money into building a fleet of auxiliary sailing ships. Its flagship Neoliner Origin made its debut in October 2025, crossing the Atlantic with a cargo of vehicles. 

Award-winning author James Bradley joins us live to chat about his new book, Landfall - part climate future, mostly a detective novel!
