From Air to Action: Build a CO₂-Capturing Machine
Friday, October 3, 2025. 5:30-p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Want to join the fight against climate change? Join Michigan Carbon Capture, the student group affiliated with the Global CO2 Initiative, for a hands-on workshops where you’ll build a device that pulls CO₂ straight from the air. Their experienced project team will guide you step-by-step as you explore the science behind carbon removal and discover the potential of this emerging industry. You’ll leave informed, inspired, and empowered to create climate solutions of your own. No technical experience or knowledge of carbon capture required. People of all majors are encouraged to participate.

Carbon Dioxide: the Untapped Resource Surrounding Us
Wednesday, October 1, 2025. 3 p.m. – 4 p.m.
As part of University of Michigan’s Climate Week, we invite you to join this round table discussion with experts from four universities: the Ohio State University, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, and the University of Michigan.
Although their universities may be rivals on an athletic field, Shang, Autumn, Hongtao, and Stephen are coming together to demonstrate the importance of collaboration when it comes to addressing climate change.
In this webinar, you will learn about carbon capture and utilization:
- a basic explanation and overview,
- potential to deliver economic and sustainability benefits,
- what work is currently being done in the field,
- the opportunities it presents, and
- drawbacks, limitations, and barriers.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn about carbon capture and utilization’s potential benefits, challenges, and cutting edge research developments firsthand from the experts!
This event is free, but registration is required.

Foundations for a Successful and Responsible Greenhouse Gas Removals Ecosystem
Webinar series
August and September 2025
Please join the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a three-part conversation series on greenhouse gas removals.
Webinar 1: Value-Added Products and Co-Benefits from GHG Removals
August 28, 2025 | 1:00-2:00 PM ET
This webinar discusses the economic and environmental potential of utilizing captured greenhouse gases (GHGs). Speakers will explore the leading opportunities for commercial use of captured GHGs and assess the current state of market and technological readiness. Speakers will address the major challenges facing efforts to scale these technologies and discuss the additional benefits they can offer, such as valuable byproducts and efficiencies gained from co-located industrial processes.
This discussion will be moderated by Global CO2 Initiative Director, Volker Sick.
September 2, 2025 | 1:00-2:00 PM ET
As GHG removal technologies move toward larger-scale demonstration and deployment, questions of governance and oversight become increasingly urgent. This webinar will examine the current consensus on guardrails and governance frameworks for GHG removal, including efforts to refine and evolve these systems. Speakers will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of existing governance models, draw lessons from climate intervention governance experiences, and explore how these insights intersect with permitting reform and siting considerations for energy infrastructure.
Register for Webinar 2September 23, 2025 | 1:00-2:00 PM ET
This webinar will explore the latest developments in prospective life-cycle assessment (LCA) and technoeconomic analysis (TEA) as applied to carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gas (GHG) removal approaches. Speakers will discuss persistent data and methodological gaps that limit the effectiveness of these analyses, as well as potential solutions to overcome them. The session will also highlight how leading GHG removal technologies perform in LCA and TEA studies and what these findings reveal about their scalability and deployment challenges. Finally, the discussion will address the role of improved Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems in ensuring the durability and reliability of GHG removal outcomes.
Register for Webinar 312th European Carbon Dioxide Utilisation Summit 2025
September 24-25, 2025
The 12th European Carbon Dioxide Utilisation Summit will take place on the 24th and 25th of September 2025 in Antwerp, Belgium. As a platform for advancing the CCU industry, this event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to drive the global transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.
Through in-depth discussions and expert-led sessions, the summit will explore cutting-edge solutions, scalable strategies, and investment opportunities that enable the industrial adoption of CO2 utilisation technologies
