Carbon Removal Strategies 2030
Join us for Carbon Removal Strategies 2030, the second installment of our Catalyzing Clean Energy 2030 series sponsored by Caltech and NosTerra that brings together key leaders in engineering, science, industry, and government to provide a wide audience with information, data, and inspiration on why and how to reach a 50% reduction in the emission of global warming gases (GWG) within the decade and a sustainable 1.5°C climate pathway for 2050.
The experts brought together for Carbon Removal Strategies 2030 will discuss the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) landscapes — scientific, engineering, and economic — and how they can contribute to a clean energy transition and keep us on a path to less than 1.5°C of global warming. Key decisions need to be made about how to balance our energy systems: do we invest principally in electrification and alternative fuels or CDR and CCS-backed fossil fuel power plants? The newest technologies in carbon mitigation and the strategies needed to implement them will be discussed and debated at this second installment of the Catalyzing Clean Energy 2030 series, sponsored by Caltech in partnership with NosTerra.
