\nHost: Prof. Jay Werber
\nPresident Biden has laid out a bold and ambitious goal of ac hieving net-zero carbon emissions in the U.S. by 2050. The pathway to tha t target includes cutting total greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 a nd eliminating them entirely from the Nation’s electricity sector by 2035. Investment in technology research\, design\, development\, and deploymen t (RDD&D) will be required to achieve the president’s objectives\, includi ng investments in both carbon capture at point sources in addition to carb on dioxide removal approaches that target the accumulated pool of carbon i n the atmosphere. Both will be required to achieve net-zero carbon emissio ns in time and they will require increased deployment in order to move dow n the cost curve. These efforts combined with effective policy will make t hese approaches economically viable.
\nThese approaches are critical and they must be deployed in parallel. Deployment of these technologies at the scale required will necessitate the use of resources including land \, water\, and in some cases\, low-carbon energy\, while ensuring the secu re and reliable storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) on a timescale that impacts climate. Therefore\, CCS and CDR deployment must be implemen ted strategically in terms of regional goals and requirements.
\nThe
Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will play an important role
in the transition to net-zero carbon emissions by reducing the environmen
tal impacts of fossil energy production and use – and helping decarbonize
other hard-to abate sectors – through investments in technology solutions
including CCS\, direct air capture\, and the deployment of carbon capture
technologies to produce low-carbon products and fuel\, including hydrogen.

In addition\, as a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute\, she led WRI’s Carbon Removal Program.
\nHaving grown up in rural Maine\, Dr. Wilcox has a profound respect an d appreciation of nature. That appreciation permeates her work\; she focus es on minimizing climate and environmental impacts of our dependence on fo ssil fuels.
\nDr. Wilcox holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and a n M.A. in Chemistry from the University of Arizona and B.A. in Mathematics from Wellesley College. Dr. Wilcox’s research takes aim at the nexus of energy and the environment\, developing both mitigation and adaptation str ategies to minimize negative climate impacts associated with society’s dep endence on fossil fuels. She has served on committees of the National Acad emy of Sciences and the American Physical Society to assess carbon capture methods and impacts on climate. She is the author of the first textbook on carbon capture\, Carbon Capture\, published in March 2012. She co-edited the CDR Primer on carbon dioxide removal in 2021.
