⏲️ Are you interested in attending the 15th #ConcaweSymposium but you still need to register? This is your last chance: registration will close on Friday 6th October 2023. The event will take place in person on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October 2023 in Brussels. This 2023 edition of the Concawe Symposium will focus on "Challenges and opportunities to meet EU’s climate and air quality objectives: How can the fuel manufacturing industry contribute?". What are some of the key challenges of the European Green Deal? This will be discussed during session 1, where the speakers will also touch on the different enabling technologies which could be used at scale to decarbonise Europe. As for latest trends and multi-contribution scenarios, those will be brought to the table during session 2. Day 2 of the Symposium will have urban air quality in focus. The third session will look into the application of mitigation measures for exceedances of air quality limit values at city level and the closing session will focus on source apportionment modelling.

We should all be thankful to fossil fuels otherwise we would still live in the stone age Instead of waste trillions $ on unstable environment disaster wind and solar energy we should develop fossil fuels and nuclear ☢️ to be cleaner cheaper and more efficient

As Prime Coalition, Elemental Excelerator and other innovative organizations have recognized, climate solutions often scale more slowly and need more capital than other types of technologies, especially to build out demonstration projects. However, these early or first-of-a-kind (FOAK) climate infrastructure projects don’t fit neatly into venture, growth, or project finance investment criteria. As a result, there is a plethora of projects, both ready to be demonstrated or soon-to-be-ready, that may go unfunded in a “second valley of death.” Risk and the problem of high search and transaction costs as a percentage of investment are often cited as the culprits. Inherent in this challenge is the opportunity for promising solutions to overcome this valley of death and realize their potential impact as a viable, scalable climate solution. I've been fascinated with this space over the last 18 months and am hosting a convening tomorrow to bring together siloed groups of individuals and stakeholders in the FOAK space who don’t often interact with each other and certainly do not share information with each other as readily as they can. Zeev Krieger & Shilpi Kumar will be sharing their framing on the problem, and participants will then come together around problem areas to discuss promising solutions. And shoutout to Jennifer Wagner for seeding the idea for this event! We have a dozen or so spots left and would love to have you there! So if you're in NYC for Climate Week and working in this space, feel free to register for the event (tomorrow, Friday Sep 22nd, 10am - 12pm in Midtown area) here: https://lu.ma/cvfoak

Excited to be at #ClimateWeekNYC highlighting how our science helps drive climate innovation. Cory Sauer, 3M’s global carbon capture lead, shared the stage with Claude Letourneau, Svante’s president and chief executive officer, to discuss how we are collaborating to accelerate the development and scalability of direct air capture solutions.
