About the CERC symposium
The California Energy Research Center (CERC) at California State University, Bakersfield, in partnership with the Livermore Lab Foundation, is proud to host the 2024 CERC Carbon Management and Energy Innovation Symposium on April 12. A wide range of sponsors are helping to make this annual event possible, including presenting sponsor, Chevron.
Once again this year, we have organized an exciting, diverse array of speakers and panelists to address carbon management issues and energy innovations of regional and national importance. The CERC Carbon Management and Energy Innovation Symposium will feature panels of experts that will discuss topics associated with California’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hubs, the challenges of regional subsurface storage, company strategies to decarbonize. Dynamic symposium speakers will cover issues that include the costs and benefits of carbon removal, gas infrastructure transport from source to storage; community benefit plans; carbon management policies, and carbon mineralization. Speakers and panelists will include experts from academia, the private sector and government.
CERC is involved in a broad spectrum of projects in the region, including those associated with microgrids, battery minerals, biofuels, community education about climate change and the energy transition, and CO2 and hydrogen storage, among many others. For the CERC Symposium, we want to continue to expand our coverage of important, diverse, energy-related innovations, opportunities and challenges that are relevant to the Central Valley and beyond.
The CERC Symposium will occur from 8 AM to 3 PM on April 12. Register for the free, live webinar using the link below: https://csub.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6lOLRsXC8K79C5w
