The Arc of Innovation for Carbon Removal Solutions

​There is currently a waitlist for this event

​Speakers:

​David Ackerly, Dean of the Rausser College of Natural Resources, UC Berkeley; Elliot Chang, Co-founder and CTO at Eion; Peter Minor, Former Director of Science and Innovation at Carbon180; Elizabeth Troein, Head of Science at Isometric

​About this event:

​Addressing the climate crisis requires a multidisciplinary approach. The more innovations with potential to scale that we can “trial” in meaningful ways, the more likely we are to find the solutions we need to mitigate climate change over time. 

​The importance of viable pathways for technical founders to scale inventions and solutions cannot be overstated. Join us for a discussion around supporting innovation and the technical founder’s journey, and the policy levers and university tools that make this a reality. 

​We'll discuss topics like: 

• ​Past carbon offset practices--challenges and what we can learn for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) offtakes

• ​Why a multidisciplinary approach to carbon removal important and support for innovators from academic, public and private sectors

• ​How can we raise the bar around high-quality, verified carbon removal? 

• ​The role of scientific expertise in carbon market shaping

• ​Efforts from various sectors to build a shared vision for the ideal future state of a CDR market

• ​Predictions around CDR and the landscape for related careers in climate over the next 5-10 years
