By Volker Sick, Global CO2 Initiative, University of Michigan It is clear that solving climate change cannot be done with a single technology, behavioral change, or adaptation effort alone. Emissions reduction is clearly paramount so that we can eventually reach a net-zero carbon future. Much has been achieved already, for example large-scale deployment of wind…
Article by Volker Sick (Global CO2 Initiative) and Tim Skone (National Energy Technology Laboratory) Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), a set of tools that can help address excess CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and which can help mitigate climate change effects, is rapidly receiving increasing attention worldwide as a valuable commercial opportunity. Promoting research,…
Today, we are proud to announce the establishment of the Global CO2 Initiative’s Advisory Board, dedicated to supporting our critical mission of developing ways to remove carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into useful products. Our Initiative tapped a broad range of experts and stakeholders that are actively engaged in the global carbon…
Following the conclusion of United Nations climate negotiations one thing is abundantly clear: we need much more investment in innovative technology as well as proactive policy solutions to meet our ever-ambitious global climate targets. In addition to countries setting and surpassing these targets, we also need critical businesses and heavy industries to take bold steps…
Prior to the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, experts anticipated it to be the “most critical and controversial report on climate change.” As shown in today’s report, it is increasingly clear that transitioning to renewable energy is not enough if we are to meet our climate goals. We are faced…
We are excited about leading the Global CO2 Initiative at the University of Michigan and building upon the collaborative network of CO2 Sciences and expertise the U-M’s Beyond Carbon Neutral Initiative have already established. Thank you for taking time to learn about our critical mission to develop and deploy technologies and solutions that will remove and…
