Hi team -- we’re reaching out to share the registration link for the next event in our Carbon Dioxide Removal Webinar Series.

As the world navigates the necessary transition away from fossil fuels towards clean energy, we have to ensure we’re also focused on removing the climate pollution that has already been dumped into the atmosphere. That’s known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR).

The call for CDR is only growing stronger as new analyses find that we’re not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets. At the same time, there are different viewpoints especially about the engineered methods of removing carbon from the atmosphere that we must address.

The next webinar is happening on October 18 at 10am PT -- RSVP now to join us on Zoom! No worries if you missed our first webinar, now is the perfect time to jump in.

In this second webinar of a six-part series, experts will provide an overview of the primary ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere, both natural and engineered. These include direct air capture, soil carbon management, afforestation, biochar, ocean CDR, biomass carbon removal and storage, and enhanced rock weathering. The webinar will explore:

• How much carbon each CDR method could potentially remove
• How permanently the removed carbon can be stored
• Scalability and cost of CDR
• How CDR will impact communities and local ecosystems
• The unknowns and questions about each of these methods

We’ll foster co-learning between subject matter experts and stakeholders so that we can build the knowledge about CDR in California. Sign up to join our virtual event to learn more about carbon dioxide removal on October 18 at 10am PT!

This is the second webinar in a six-part series. The upcoming topics are:

• October 18: The Primary Carbon Dioxide Removal Approaches, Natural and Engineered (RSVP now!)
• November: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Communities (Part 1): What do communities think about Carbon Dioxide Removal? Addressing air quality, safety, local and wider impacts, and other issues.
• December: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Communities (Part 2): Community Benefits, Governance Models, Oversight and Co-Ownership
• January, 2025: Responsible Accounting/Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
• February, 2025: CDR Policy Levers

Several CDR projects are already underway in California. Now, we need to ensure that we don’t repeat the harmful industrial mistakes of the past when developing these new projects. Local communities, especially economically disadvantaged communities and communities of color, must be involved early on to make sure these projects not only do no harm, but also provide meaningful benefits.

Plus, check out the recording of September’s webinar on The Science of Carbon Dioxide Removal.

Hope to see you on Zoom,
