Carbon Capture: Can Technology Help Slow Climate Change?
Can we fight climate change by capturing carbon before it reaches the atmosphere—or even pulling it back out of the air?
Join Telluride Science for an engaging conversation that breaks down the science behind carbon capture and explores whether it can be a meaningful part of our climate solution toolkit. Experts will explain how carbon capture works, where it’s being used today, and how new materials and electrochemical processes are making these technologies more efficient and scalable.
The discussion will cover:
- What carbon capture is and how it works
- Capturing carbon from industrial sources vs. directly from the air
- Promises, limitations, and common misconceptions
- How carbon capture fits alongside renewable energy and other climate solutions
This panel discussion with thought-leading scientists offers a look at the opportunities—and challenges—of using science to address one of the most urgent issues of our time. Panelists include:
- David Kwabim, Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University
- Mim Rahimi, College of Engineering at University of Texas
- David Sinton, Lawson Climate Institute at University of Toronto
- Yayuan Liu, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at John Hopkins University
The event is free and open to the public.
