California has unique opportunities for deploying hybrid carbon dioxide removal strategies that use technology to enhance natural processes that draw down carbon from the atmosphere. This webinar explored how biochar and mineralization can remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it for long periods of time while improving California’s agricultural soils and forest resilience. Participants learned how these strategies work, their carbon removal potential, tradeoffs, and co-benefits. We also covered how carbon removal is measured and verified for these processes, and highlighted The Climate Center’s new report on responsible carbon removal in California.
Annalise Downey is the VP of Client Solutions at Sylvera, where she leads teams operating at the intersection of product, data, and clients, translating Sylvera’s climate data and solutions into real world decision making and enabling customers to effectively implement and scale climate action. Annalise joined Sylvera in 2020 and played a foundational role in developing the company’s first ratings and assessment frameworks.
California Regional Director at American Farmland Trust
Tom works closely with the California staff to develop and lead AFT programs in the state. Before joining AFT, Tom worked as a program officer for the East-West Center, where he developed and managed educational programs that addressed environmental issues affecting communities in the United States and beyond. Prior to that, he managed the agriculture, food security, and economic development programs at the International Rescue Committee and launched an educational farm that supported underserved farmers and low-income food-insecure communities within the greater Sacramento region.
Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Anvil Capture Systems
Dr. Corey Myers is Chief Scientist and Co-Founder at Anvil Capture Systems. Prior to joining Anvil, he was the lead engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for CO2 mineralization projects. Dr. Myers was the lead engineer on the KCAC Carbon Mineralization Field Test — the world’s largest test of CO2 mineralization technologies. He also was the LLNL lead on a Department of Energy (DOE)-funded project to set the protocols for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) for CO2 mineralization-based CDR processes. Dr. Myers sat on the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Innovation Roadmap team for DOE in the areas of mineralization and marine CDR.
Peter Minor is a co-founder of Absolute Climate, which is building independent standards for carbon management that measure projects based on their atmospheric impact. A veteran of the carbon removal industry, he previously served as the Director of Science & Innovation at Carbon180. While there, he pioneered core principles required for high-accountability Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV). A UC Berkeley mechanical engineering PhD by training, he applies his expertise in sensors, numerical modeling, and carbon removal science towards building the MRV solutions needed to unlock gigaton scale.
