Volker Sick and colleagues recently published a paper on the relative impacts of carbon utilization for different area of production. “Decisions to globally scale CCU operations will require guidance on identifying products that maximize the climate benefits of using captured CO2,” said lead author Dwarak Ravikumar, a former postdoctoral researcher at U-M’s Center for Sustainable…

Volker Sick was recently interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about climate change. “We don’t have a silver bullet, one thing that fixes everything,” Sick said. “So we need individual action, we need policy action, new technology — we need to make changes in lots of things, but we need to do this with a…

“We need to pull out all stops to accelerate CO2 capture and utilization to reduce atmospheric CO2 and to ensure availability of key products that are free from fossil carbon. Traditional technology deployment is too slow; it is urgent that we take action to avert the grim scenarios described in this latest IPCC report,” say Bernard David and Volker Sick, of the Global CO2 Initiative

As the US congress considers a trillion-dollar infrastructure deal that addresses the continuing impacts of climate change on American cities and towns, the Conversation named a recent GCI article on climate-friendly concrete as one of “3 essential reads” to better understand innovations in resilient infrastructure.
