The Prince and Princess of Wales hosted a glitzy gala ceremony yesterday in America for an initiative aimed at tackling global warming and handed up big cash prizes to projects from Oman, India, Kenya, Australia, and the UK.

The Earthshot prize was established by Prince William to fund projects that aim to save the planet, each receiving £1 million to develop their innovations.

Details of the top entries were unveiled at the event in Boston and they include Talal Hasan’s project 44.01 from Oman in the 'Fix Our Climate' category. Hasan's 44.01 aims to convert carbon dioxide into peridot, a rock. This process claims to be a more low-cost and safe alternative to traditional methods of storing carbon dioxide.

• Protect and Restore Nature: Kheyti, India – A pioneering solution for local smallholder farmers to reduce costs, increase yields and protect livelihoods in a country on the frontlines of climate change.
