WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17 AT 11:00AM PT Several states have established visionary goals to reduce their climate footprints, with many striving to achieve carbon neutrality within the next 30 years—including California, Colorado, New York, Oregon, and Massachusetts. The achievement of these ambitious goals will be challenging.

Join us for a 1-hour webinar to hear key findings from the recently published Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) report, “Getting to Neutral." Attendees will learn strategies that can enable states to accelerate their efforts to fight climate change. 

One of the report’s lead authors will share an analysis on how California could achieve carbon-neutrality by complementing the state's ongoing mitigation efforts with negative emissions technologies that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, making use of the state's natural biomass and geologic advantages. The first-of-its kind study—which documents how carbon neutrality can be achieved at a very modest cost, and using available technology—was the topic of extensive discussion within California state government, and spawned the introduction of multiple bills in the legislature.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 at 8:00AM PT,Fueling cost of hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty vehicles (FC HDVs) must be competitive with other fuel/vehicle technologies. The methods of hydrogen packaging, delivery and fueling impact the hydrogen cost at the dispenser. Furthermore, there is a tradeoff between well-to-wheels carbon intensity of hydrogen and its cost.

​​​​​​​This webinar discusses the various pathways for hydrogen production, delivery and fueling, and proposes a pathway for low cost hydrogen fueling of FC HDVs.
