SUMMARY:North America Climate Summit
DESCRIPTION:The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) looks forward to welcoming delegates to its flagship North America Climate Summit (NACS) 2023 on 19-21 September\, an official accredited event of New York Climate Week 2023 and the UN General Assembly 2023. \nOrganized by IETA\, in collaboration with the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP)\, NACS 2023 is an in-person event with some hybrid sessions to enable virtual participation. The Summit features high-level plenaries\, North America and cross-cutting deep-dive workshops\, leadership roundtables\, and a “Carbon Market Lounge” with Partner Sponsors display counters\, a networking chill-out lounge\, coffee breaks and receptions. \nFULL AGENDA (Subject to Change) \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange - Eli Yablonovitch: Carbon-negative Technology To Solve the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:CITRIS Research Exchange with \nEli Yablonovitch \nProfessor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences\, UC Berkeley \n“Carbon-negative Technology To Solve the Climate Crisis” \nAbout Talk: \nIn 1977\, physicist Freeman Dyson proposed the burial of biomass as a scalable\, economical solution to the carbon dioxide problem. Today we know that harvested vegetation should be buried in an engineered dry biolandfill. Plant biomass can be preserved for thousands of years by burial in a dry environment with sufficiently low thermodynamic “water activity\,” which is the relative humidity in equilibrium with the biomass. A water activity less than 60 percent will not support life\, suppressing anaerobic organisms\, thus preserving the biomass for millennia. Current agriculture and biolandfill costs indicate that $60 per ton of sequestered carbon dioxide corresponds to $0.53 per gallon of gasoline. If scaled to the level of a major crop\, existing carbon dioxide can be extracted from the atmosphere and sequester a significant fraction of prior years’ carbon dioxide emissions. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout the Speaker: \nEli Yablonovitch introduced the idea that strained semiconductor lasers could have superior performance due to reduced valence band effective mass. Now\, with optical telecommunication\, almost every human interaction on the internet occurs by strained semiconductor lasers. Yablonovitch is regarded as a father of the photonic bandgap concept\, and he coined the term “photonic crystal.” The geometrical structure of the first experimentally realized photonic bandgap is sometimes called “Yablonovite.” In his photovoltaic research\, Yablonovitch introduced the 4 (n squared) light-trapping factor\, known as the “Yablonovitch limit\,” that is in worldwide use for almost all commercial solar panels. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering\, the National Academy of Sciences\, the National Academy of Inventors\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and as a foreign member\, the Royal Society of the United Kingdom. \nAbout CITRIS Research Exchange: \nLaunched in 2008\, CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders. CITRIS Research Exchange is free and open to the public. Each seminar takes place on Wednesdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. in the Banatao Auditorium at Sutardja Dai Hall on the UC Berkeley campus and will be livestreamed on YouTube. \n——- \nLive broadcast at https://www.youtube.com/user/citrisuc/live \nAll talks may be viewed on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/citrisuc/playlists \nSign up to receive the latest news and updates from CITRIS: http://bit.ly/SubscribeCITRIS
