As the world navigates the necessary transition away from polluting fuels toward clean energy, many scientists believe we must also remove climate pollution that has already been dumped into the atmosphere. The call for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) grows stronger as new analyses find that the global community is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets. In this first webinar in a new six-part series, we explored the science behind CDR, how it differs from carbon capture and storage (CCS), what role it plays in broader climate efforts, and why it must be coupled with direct emission reductions.
This monthly webinar series explores the science, strategies, and policies of CDR. We will facilitate co-learning between stakeholders, address knowledge gaps, and emphasize the importance of engaging, protecting, and benefiting local communities with any proposed CDR projects. The series will run through February 2025.
Dr. Marcius Extavour is a widely published scientist, creative technologist, innovation practitioner, and communicator whose work has been featured at CNBC, CNN, PBS, and TVO. He serves as a Board Member in the U.S. National Academies of Sciences and 1% for the Planet, and he is currently a Senior Partner at Ode, where he builds sustainable solutions, products, and algorithms. Dr. Extavour established the TIME Climate 100 at TIME, after building the energy, climate, and carbon removal practice at XPRIZE as Chief Scientist and Executive VP for nearly a decade. He also worked at the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources, Nortel Networks, and the University of Toronto. Dr. Extavour holds a Ph.D. and MSc. in quantum optics and atomic physics and an undergraduate degree in engineering science from the University of Toronto.
Principal Investigator, Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s Energy Flow Charts
Kimberley (Kim) Mayfield is a member of Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s (LLNL) Energy Group and principal investigator for Lawrence Livermore’s Energy Flow Charts. Kim works with the Carbon Initiative, which aims to understand, develop, and implement technologies for the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Her areas of focus are carbon accounting for carbon sequestration projects and environmental justice analysis for negative carbon emissions projects. Her research background is in environmental chemistry, with an emphasis on non-traditional stable isotope geochemistry in hydrologic systems. Prior to joining LLNL, Kimberley worked in the algal biofuels industry, innovating safe and economically viable ways to extract valuable products from microalgae.
