The Other Sequestration: Reducing Atmospheric Carbon Sustainably
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Sesnon House, Cabrillo College
(see times)
Many approaches to address climate change pertain to reducing carbon emissions, but what about the carbon that is already in our atmosphere? Hosted by the Monterey Bay Branch of the U.S. Green Building Council - Northern California Chapter, this presentation will start with an update on the science and continue with a summary of current technologies and approaches for sequestering carbon above and below ground. The role forests play in terrestrial carbon sequestration, namely through sustainable forest management and timber harvesting, will be discussed. The goal of the program is to provide members of local businesses, legislators and the general public with a clear understanding of ways they can positively address the challenge of atmospheric carbon sequestration. After the main presentations, an open forum will be held to discuss lessons learned, exchanges ideas, and consider local resources pertaining to the subject. Light appetizers and beverages will be served.
Speakers:
Jeffery Greenblatt is a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and an expert in climate change science. He is currently involved with California’s Carbon Challenge for 2050 and is Principal Investigator of the Carbon Cycle 2.0 Environmental Energy Analysis Team. Dr. Greenblatt has 10 years experience in climate change and low-carbon energy technology assessment and modeling.
Jeff Cole is Blue Source’s Vice President of Portfolio Development, based in San Francisco. He is responsible for expanding Blue Source’s portfolio of carbon credits and project investments by sourcing and implementing new projects and identifying emerging market opportunities. In addition to carbon finance and policy, Jeff has broad experience delivering climate, energy and sustainability management solutions to leading corporations as a consultant with California Environmental Associates, Program Director of the Chemical Strategies Partnership, and co-founder of an energy and environmental performance management software provider.
Steve Hardy with Hayward Lumber Company is a specialist in Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified lumber and the process that allows timber products to be harvested with limited impacts on forest ecology, thus ensuring the long-term viability of forests and wood products as important components of carbon sequestration strategy.
