Thursday, September 19 at 2pm Eastern U.S.

Carbon-based products are central to our economy, yet urgent action is needed to combat climate change. This event will explore how CCU can mitigate the negative impacts of fossil fuel use, addressing the technology’s economic and social impacts, as well as its challenges.

Join this virtual event, organized by the Global CO2 Initiative and held as part of the Climate Week NYC 2024, for a very special conversation with three distinguished University of Michigan (U-M) experts who will discuss the role of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) in combating climate change and transitioning from fossil fuels, live from U-M’s Graham Sustainability Institute. 

  • Jerry Davis:  Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration and Sociology, Ross School of Business; Faculty Director, Business+Impact
  • Jennifer Haverkamp: Graham Family Director, Graham Sustainability Institute; Professor from Practice, Michigan Law School; Professor of Practice, Ford School of Public Policy
  • Volker Sick: Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Mechanical Engineering; DTE Energy Professor of Advanced Energy Research; Director, Global CO2 Initiative, and Faculty Director, Center for Entrepreneurship

By attending this event, you will learn about important CCU topics:

  • Discover how CCU can support our move away from fossil fuels. Learn how captured CO2 can be converted into long-lasting products, increasing its economic viability.
  • Misconceptions: Understand the debate surrounding CCU, including concerns about its use in some sectors of the oil and gas industry.
  • Technological Challenges: Explore the complexities of developing CCU technology, along with the difficult choices and trade-offs that lie ahead.
  • Economic and Social Impact: Discuss how this emerging industry could create jobs, influence markets, and shape industries, both globally and within local contexts.

 Register now to engage with leaders and innovators in this transformative field!

CCU is coming – don’t be left out!
