THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2021 | 9:00AM (EASTERN). The Circular Carbon Economy project is a joint initiative between Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and the Global CCS Institute. The multi-year project explores options to reduce, reuse, recycle, and remove CO2 emissions from the global energy economy and global ecosystems. The goal is to provide decision makers (including policymakers, investors, and civil society) quantitative understanding of options that can accelerate global decarbonization, reduce risks, and create economic growth.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 12 AT 11:00AM (EASTERN). More than 100 Countries and 200 companies around the world have pledged to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. Now we have to ask ourselves, how do we do it? There is more to the net zero challenge than just removing carbon from the power sector. We also need to consider how we can do it affordably and reliably. Join Mitsubishi Power to learn how it is applying advanced modeling to help determine the best path to lower system costs, reduce the amount of curtailment and effectively reduce carbon emissions in the west.
