Energy Democracy and Empowerment
There’s never been a more exciting time to be in the wastewater industry than now, because of the high level of activity occurring in terms of caring for our waterways, being more efficient, reducing our carbon footprint, and recovering more resources than ever from our waste streams.
Doubling Down on Data Giving Us the Edge in Agriculture
Farming, technology, and research experts will examine the role of data and data interoperability to improve farm profitability and reduce the impact of agriculture on global warming and the planet’s health. While agriculture contributes negatively to GHG emission, it also presents the potential to sequester carbon, manage water and other process inputs and help remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Renewable Energy as a Business Driver in the Evolution of the Electric Grid Webinar Series
Companies are increasingly seeking to source electricity from renewable sources as part of their commitment to move toward zero carbon emissions. The series delves into the business benefits of state green energy policies.
Reimagining Our Global Futures Series
For the past eight years, Arizona State University’s Robert and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions has hosted a February series of sustainability solutions events for professionals and students, called the Sustainability Solutions Festival. The 2021 theme is “Reimagining Our Global Futures” and will be delivered online because of COVID19. In support of this year’s Solutions Festival, the Walton Sustainability Solutions and LightWorks at ASU are hosting a weekly webinar series starting March 1st.
How Smart Systems can Power Our De-Carbonized Future Series
The series focuses on the potential for industry to use artificial intelligence to reduce GHG emissions while improving productivity, maintaining, or increasing profitability and identifying the technological, business, policy, and social challenges in its application in a decarbonized future.
The New Carbon Economy Webinar Series
In partnership with ASU-LightWorks® and LightSpeed Solutions at Arizona State University, SSF hosted a four webinar series about the future of Future of Sustainable Transportation Fuels. Although it is difficult to predict what transportation energy will look like in 2050, investments made now will frame that future.
Sustainable Fuel Webinar Series
In partnership with ASU-LightWorks® and LightSpeed Solutions at Arizona State University, SSF hosted a four webinar series about the future of Future of Sustainable Transportation Fuels. Although it is difficult to predict what transportation energy will look like in 2050, investments made now will frame that future.
Restoring the Carbon Balance Webinar Series
The capacity of the Earth’s atmosphere to safely hold excess carbon without too much warming is limited. The situation is growing more urgent. Even after the December 2015 Climate Conference in Paris, it is unlikely that global economies will reduce carbon emissions quickly enough to achieve the goal of limiting the temperature increase to two degrees Celsius.
Towards a 20GT Negative CO2 Emissions Industry
It is imperative to capture 20 GT of carbon from the air in the next 20 years, and that will require contributions from all sectors including agriculture, industrial processes and direct air capture.
Farming Methods That Thrive in a Decarbonized World
Agriculture research and the application of technology will become increasingly computerized in the decades ahead. Moisture sensors, drones, smart irrigation, terrain contour mapping, self-driving and GPS enabled tractors, advances in ecosystem services, and better soil management can help farmers produce food more sustainably.
Power to the People with Minigrids
Join LightWorks at ASU and SSF with CrossBoundary, and rural microgrid developers in a 90-minute webinar exploring innovations in profitably financing off grid (Minigrids) energy solutions in remote villages that can spark economic development and lead to sustainable rural energy markets and fight poverty. The models apply to rural America.
Foods of the Future: Great Tasting & Healthy Food for a Low Carbon World
The food industry is among the three largest emitters of greenhouse gases. Clearly the food system must transform operations to reduce its carbon footprint and help avoid the worst impacts of climate change
