SUMMARY:Webinar - Methane Webinar Series: Reducing Methane Emissions from the Solid Waste Sector
DESCRIPTION:Registration is free\, but required to attend. REGISTER HERE. \nToday\, the solid waste landfills sector accounts for 20% of global methane emissions\, and is the third largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions in the United States. Additionally\, it is anticipated that the total generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) will increase by 70% by 2050 as a result of a growing population. This increase in waste generation has the potential to drive a proportionate increase in landfill gas (LFG)\, which is primarily methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) — the two greatest contributors to global warming. \nAs two large economies\, China and California are now taking actions to reduce methane emissions from the solid waste sector. Since different policies and technologies are adopted in the two jurisdictions\, both sides can share lessons-learned and experiences with one another. Join us to hear from issue-experts on these topics\, including about the launch of a new California-China Climate Institute report which focuses on lessons-learned from California. \nAgenda \n5:00 PT Discussion is Opened by Moderator\, Ken Alex\, Director\, Project Climate\, Center for Law\, Energy\, and Environment\, UC Berkeley \n5:00 PT Opening remarks \n\nJiang Lin\, Nat Simons Presidential Chair in China Energy Policy\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\n\n5:05 PT Introduction of Waste Methane Report \n\nRixin Zhu\, Methane Policy Fellow\, California-China Climate Institute\n\n5:25 PT Commentary and Reactions on Addressing Waste Methane \n\nMatthew Harrison\, Manager of the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Policy Section\, California Air Resources Board\nDr. Xiao Liu\, Project Director\, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH\n\n6:00 PT Open Discussion and Audience Q & A \n6:20 PT Closing Remarks \n\nDr. Meian Chen\, Innovative Green Development Program (iGDP)\n\nThis webinar series is organized by the California-China Climate Institute\, in partnership with the Innovative Green Development Program (iGDP). Supported by Climate Imperative and IGSD.

SUMMARY:How Biohydrogen Can Help Fight Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen\, particularly green hydrogen produced from water electrolysis using renewable electricity\, has received the lion’s share of attention due to its essential role in helping the world reach net-zero emissions by 2050. By comparison\, little attention has been paid to biohydrogen (Bio-H2)\, a type of hydrogen produced from organic waste streams (e.g.\, agricultural waste). \nPlease join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs to discuss key findings from its latest report on hydrogen\, The Potential Role of Biohydrogen in the Net-Zero World: The Production and Applications of Carbon-Negative Hydrogen. The report explores the current state of play for Bio-H2 and its potential contribution to decarbonization efforts by examining its production options\, carbon footprint\, cost\, potential applications\, and policy options. \nModerator: \n\nAnne-Sophie Corbeau\, Global Research Scholar\, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA\n\nPanelists: \n\nEmanuele Bianco\, Programme Officer\, International Renewable Energy Agency\nZhiyuan Fan\, Ph.D. student and Research Associate\, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA\nDoris Fujii\, Head of Hydrogen and CCUS Analysis\, bp\nYushan Lou\, Research Associate\, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA\n\nThis webinar will be hosted via Zoom. Advance registration is required. \nREGISTER HERE \nUpon registration\, you will receive a confirmation email with access details. The event will be recorded\, and the video recording will be added to our website following the event.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Carbon Capture and Storage and What it Means for Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join Just Solutions Collective in a webinar to explore precisely what carbon capture and storage\, or CCS\, is and how the technology works. CCS is often purported as a just environmental solution\, aiming to reduce the levels of decades of carbon emissions in the earth’s atmosphere. However\, many environmental and climate justice advocates point to the harmful impacts CCS technologies have on our communities. \nSpeakers will also discuss how CCS fits into the current landscape of federal funding opportunities and what EJ communities can expect with increased support for this technology. Lastly\, they will examine if we can save the planet without CCS and what options are available as potential alternatives to this solution. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Conversations on Informality: Providing Sustainable Electricity to Urban Informal Settlements of the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Providing basic services to informal urban settlements has been a historical challenge for cities of the global south. One of the defining features of ‘informality’ in settlements has been their lack of access to basic services. This seminar complicates that discussion by asking how to marry the concerns of sustainability and steady electricity provision in informal urban settlements. Dr. Mensah will present his research on electricity provision in Accra’s slums\, while Dr. Kitio will focus on the overall macro picture of fitting sustainability into service provision in informal settlements of the global south. In particular\, the seminar features research conducted by Eugenie L. Birch\, co-Director of Penn’s Institute for Urban Research\, and James Mensah entitled “Powering the Slum” and funded by the Kleinman Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania. \nThe “Conversations on Informality” Seminar Series of the Penn IUR Forum on Urban Informality bring together leading scholars and practitioners for an exchange across academic disciplines and in policy. \nThis event is a part of Energy Week at Penn\, a week of energy-focused events across Penn’s campus.

SUMMARY:Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America
DESCRIPTION:This is a keynote event of the Penn Regenerative Ag Alliance Workshop. \nREGISTER HERE \nBet the Farm: A conversation with Beth Hoffman on the dollars and sense of growing food in America. \nSpeaker: \nBeth Hoffman began her writing career focused on culture and food\, producing a radio food series documenting the stories of immigrant women as they cooked in their homes (which was nationally syndicated). Now twenty-five years into writing and producing work on food and agriculture\, her areas of expertise have grown to include the potential of agriculture in development\, the financial viability of farms\, and sustainability in agriculture. She has aired and published on NPR’s Morning Edition and on their food blog The Salt\, written for The Guardian\, Civil Eats\, Forbes and produced work for the News Hour\, Latino USA\, and The World. Most recently she published Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America. Hoffman currently works as a consultant on food + communications projects\, speaks about sustainable farming\, and writes a blog as part of the Iowa Writers Collaborative. \nHoffman also spent much of her adult life teaching\, most recently as an Associate Professor in the Media Studies Department at the University of San Francisco. She was a Fellow and Co-Lecturer at UC Berkeley’s School of Journalism (where she also went to graduate school) in the Africa Food and Agriculture Reporting Project and traveled to India\, Uganda\, and Ethiopia to cover agriculture topics. \nPerhaps most importantly\, she is now a beginning farmer on a 570-acre farm in Iowa with her husband John. The couple raises pasture-raised beef\, goats\, and vegetables and forage for mushrooms. \nThis event is a part of Energy Week at Penn\, a week of energy-focused events across Penn’s campus. \nBrowse and register for other Energy Week events: energyweek.upenn.edu

SUMMARY:Urban biodiversity: the importance of scale
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nWhile much is known about the scaling of biodiversity\, less is known about specifically how biodiversity scales in urban areas. This is an important question because over two-thirds of humans live in urban areas. Understanding how\, precisely\, biodiversity scales in urban areas will inform management. Linear relationships would imply that similar interventions should work across the range of city sizes (from small towns to the largest mega-cities) whereas non-linear relationships would imply that biodiversity strategies must be tailored to the size of the city. We focused on avian biodiversity because more than half of the species are found in urban areas (6\,120 out of 11\,162 species)\, including at least 350 threatened ones. We calculated species richness in 2\,568 cities and used eBird\, a community science platform\, to estimate species richness. After controlling for a variety of variables that might explain variation in avian biodiversity\, we found a non-linear relationship in cities and contrasted this to a well-established power law found in natural areas. After controlling for other key variables that might explain variation in urban biodiversity\, the log-log relationship between city area and avian biodiversity had a slope of 0.42 until cities got bigger than 331 km2\, beyond which it decreased to 0.15. This suggests that unique processes affect urban biodiversity in smaller and larger cities. When we focused on the subset of threatened species\, we found a linear relationship with a slope of 0.20. Urbanization not only contributes to a global extinction\, but urban areas may provide important habitat for threatened species. \nAbout speaker: Dr. Nannan Gao is a Postdoctoral associate with Daniel T. Blumstein in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. Her research mainly focuses on studying the relationship between urban biodiversity and city size by creating global urban biodiversity datasets that include small towns to megacities involving spatiotemporal advanced computing\, statistical computing\, and data science. Dr. Gao received her Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Science and also studied human geography and urban planning at Peking University. She seeks to balance humans and animals in urban areas.

SUMMARY:Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator's I-710 Blueprint Webinar - Delivering the Goods: How LA County can Invest in Drayage Electrification Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) and the Transportation Electrification Partnership put forth a call for action in 2019 for 40% of all drayage trucks serving the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to be zero emission by 2028\, and have steadily advocated for significant deployment of charging infrastructure to facilitate the rapid adoption of battery-electric trucks. To catalyze the needed investment\, LACI has developed an investment framework for the heavily trafficked I-710 corridor that addresses the following questions: \n– How much charging infrastructure investment in Los Angeles County is needed to support the Transportation Electrification Partnership’s 40% ZE Drayage Trucks by 2028 and the San Pedro Bay Ports target of 100% ZE Drayage by 2035? \n– Where in Los Angeles County should stakeholders prioritize for early deployments of charging infrastructure? What criteria should we consider? \n– How can the region cooperate to fund these investments and attract federal support? \n– How can different entities in the goods movement industry deploy charging infrastructure to support the drayage? \nTo learn more about these and other insights\, join LACI and its project partners\, Coalition for Environmental Health and Justice & bp pulse fleet\, as they share preliminary findings and recommendations from a California Energy Commission-funded Medium and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Blueprint grant\, An Investment Blueprint for Heavy-Duty Charging to Support Battery-Electric Drayage along the I-710 Corridor. \nIn this webinar\, LACI and its partners will outline the framework and process they created to identify specific site locations with characteristics ideal for the installation of drayage truck charging infrastructure\, an overview of the opportunities presented by different sites\, and the investment required to meet regional targets for zero emission drayage truck deployment. \nREGISTER HERE
