Europe has politically set the path to climate neutrality through the Green Deal.

In order to achieve carbon neutrality, we need to act on two fronts: (i) rigorous emissions reduction and (ii) active carbon removal from the atmosphere.

The webinar will discuss three realistic, quickly scalable and shovel ready biomass-based solutions for carbon removal:

• Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage,
• Forests as carbon sinks as well as
• Pyrogenic Carbon Capture and Storage (Biochar).

The aim is to provide scientific information on these key biomass-based C-sink solutions, their technological readiness level and highlight their advantages, limitations and synergies with the long-term climate projections.

The event will consist of 5 presentations delivered by the leading experts in this field and followed by a Q&A session.

Speakers:

• Dr. Simon Kay, Senior Expert, European Commission, DG Climate Action, Land Use and Finance for Innovation Unit
• Prof. Jan Minx, Head of working group Applied Sustainability Science, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC)
• Dr.Sc. Kati Koponen, Senior Scientist, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland 
• Dr. Hans Verkerk, Principal Scientist - Climate-Smart Forestry, European Forest Institute
• Hansjörg Lerchenmüller, Chairman, European Biochar Industry Consortium (EBI)
