One of the tools that California is considering in its fight against climate change is carbon sequestration, which involves pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, pressurizing it into a liquid, and storing it within rock formations underground.
Today, CSU Bakersfield held a symposium on the technology, not only about its promise and challenges, but also about the feasibility of carrying out potential projects right here in the San Joaquin Valley. To learn more, KVPR’s Kerry Klein spoke before the event with Anthony Rathburn, chair of the CSUB geology department as well as the interim director of the California Energy Research Center, which organized the event.
The symposium took place today, buta recording will be available after the fact.
