Unlocking Methane Removal
As climate deadlines loom, methane — a greenhouse gas over 80 times more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year period — demands urgent attention. Recent breakthroughs in methane-eating bacteria (methanotrophs) offer a promising path forward, but scientific innovation alone isn’t enough.
Join the Carbon Technology Research Foundation for a focused session in our 'Amazing Science' series, a high-level briefing designed for funders, policymakers, and research leaders working at the frontlines of climate action. This session zeros in on the potential of biological methane removal and what it will take to move this emerging solution from the lab to large-scale deployment.
This 60-minute session will explore:
- The current scientific landscape of methane-eating bacteria
- What’s needed to bring these solutions to the field — from funding to field trials
- The key financial, policy, and social barriers slowing progress
- The business case and long term sustainability of solutions
- How targeted, coordinated action now can unlock climate impact by 2030
Why Attend: If you're a climate funder, policy influencer, or scientific leader ready to accelerate real-world methane solutions, this session is designed to catalyze collaboration and impact.
Let's turn breakthrough science into measurable climate results - before the critical window closes.
Speakers:
Professor Mary Lidstrom – Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering and Professor Emeritus of Microbiology University of Washington, Seattle
Dr. Jessica Swanson - Associate Professor, University of Utah, Department of Chemistry and the Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry.
Host:
Maria-Krystyna Duval - CEO Carbon Technology Research Foundation
