Carbon Farming Workshop
Program Director: Dr. David Babson
Date: June 28-29, 2022
Location: Kansas City, MO
The Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) within the U.S. Department of Energy hosted a workshop to convene technical experts and thought leaders to explore opportunities and challenges related to energy efficient carbon removal via advanced terrestrial ecosystems and bioeconomy supply chains. The workshop included technical and market focused presentations, panel discussions, and facilitated breakout groups, with the overarching goal of identifying disruptive R&D pathways related to low-energy, low-cost, and large-scale technologies and strategies for terrestrial carbon dioxide removal, management, and sequestration, or “carbon farming.”
