<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 18.373332977294922px;" class="">Please join us for a virtual webinar we are planning for November 30 and December 1 on carbon-capture. This webinar will include leading researchers from UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Berkeley,
UC Davis, MIT, Carnegie-Mellon University, Georgia Tech, Ohio State University, Arizona State University,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="" class="">HY-TEK Bio,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Verdox, and Mosaic Materials.
Several presentations will focus on carbon-capture technologies that are now at the point where scaling-up to mid-scale demonstration projects is the next developmental stage on the path to utility-scale solutions. As such, some of the innovations that will
be presented may benefit from a CO2 exhaust stream, for example from a co-generation plant, in a research university setting where the facilities engineers and faculty researchers can play a role in monitoring and evaluating a CC demonstration project. I
expect that a number of webinar participants will be from universities with CHP plants and an interest in helping to advance carbon-capture solutions that hopefully will prove scalable.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

a mosaic of technology and infrastructure solutions that work in synergy to provide resilience and grid stability that will be increasingly critical as weather and seasonal extremes exacerbate the path to carbon-free energy.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
