Most of the household products we use in our day-to-day lives are derived from fossil carbon sources, from toiletries and cleaning supplies to plastic packaging and pharmaceuticals. When these products reach end of life, their disposal and decay results in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing to climate change. Achieving the nation's climate and sustainability goals will require finding new methods for manufacturing these essential consumer products from non-fossil carbon sources, such as carbon dioxide, and ensuring that their life cycle from production to disposal does not contribute additional GHG emissions.

Join our December Climate Conversation to explore carbon utilization and its role in mitigating climate change. Our speakers will discuss the emerging technologies, identify key challenges, and consider necessary changes to current policy, economic, and regulatory structures.
