Workshop in cooperation with the Center for Advanced Studies at LMU
Moderation: Prof. Dieter Braun and Prof. Julia Pongratz

The current climate crisis requires to identify new directions of research and political actions. Not only is a closed carbon cycle necessary, but also means to reduce CO₂ directly. However, the risks of carbon captures technologies are far away from being calculable. Nanoscientists discuss carbon dioxide removal options together with geoscientists and a stakeholder from Siemens Energy.

Program
3:00-3:25 pm Prof. Julia Pongratz, LMU Geoscience: The carbon budget and need for Carbon Dioxide Removal
3:25-3:50 pm Prof. Andreas Oschlies, GEOMAR: Marine and technological Carbon Dioxide Removal options
3:50-4:15 pm Dr. Volkmar Pflug, Siemens Energy Direct Air Capture to produce climate-neutral fuels
4:15-4:40 pm Prof. Henrike Rau, LMU Rachel Carson Center: Public acceptance of nanotechnology for climate action
4:40-5:15 pm Panel Discussion

The event takes place online via zoom.
