Is carbon the next gold rush? — Sustainability Meetup Berlin

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Join us on Wednesday 26 February for a discussion with experts about carbon capture, removal, and sequestration. And get inspired by the opportunities and innovation in tech that are helping to reduce our carbon emissions. — In the 1800s we had the gold rush. In the 1900s the rush for oil began. And now in the 2000s there is a new resource that is abundant to the planet, one that could be mined, absorbed, or sequestered almost anywhere; a commodity that could become highly valuable in future, though currently is one of our biggest problems we need to tackle. We are of course talking about carbon dioxide and relative (CO2e). "Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value." — Buckminster Fuller Most plans about how to shrink our global carbon footprint focus on reducing future emissions, but tonight we'll be discussing what to do with emissions that exist in our atmosphere today. Together with the wonderful minds of our panelists, we'll be discussing how existing carbon emissions are removed from our planet, we'll learn what this means for both the rate of climate change and what opportunities and innovation we'll need for the future. Carbon.so (www.carbon.so) and WunderTree (www.wundertree.co) have teamed up together to bring you a panel discussion with a little extra flavour than your typical on-stage conversation. Besides bringing you a fine selection of expert individuals from different companies and organisations whose work in focused on reducing global carbon emissions, we also have a few surprises planned to improve the panel experience for you. Here are a few things you'll learn from this event: - The innovative ways tech companies are mitigating, reducing or capturing carbon emissions - Is CO2 the new commodity of the future or is it our mortal enemy - The future of carbon emissions and how they can potentially be harnessed to work for us - And how to get inspired to fight climate change differently Program 18.00 Doors open + networking (with drinks served) 18.45 Introduction 19.00 Panel discussion begins (panelists announced soon) 20.00 Panel discussion finishes + Questions + Networking 20.30 End About us WunderTree — www.wundertree.co WunderTree is a Berlin based startup that is reshaping the Christmas Tree industry towards a circular model.
