DAC Day 2024

The Bipartisan Policy Center and Bipartisan Policy Center Action spend every day getting stuff done for democracy. No organization in America has a better track record of fostering relationships and bringing together the left and the right to produce real results. We combine the best ideas from both parties to promote health, security, opportunity, and civic participation for all Americans. We are on the ground doing the hard work. We deliver the direct support and policy insights members of Congress need to craft legislation that actually passes. To support events like this, please visit bipartisanpolicy.org/donate.

Bipartisan Policy Center

Direct air capture (DAC) is key for reaching net-zero emissions. Join the BPC and DAC community to discuss DAC deployment policy issues.

D.C. Bar Association

Direct air capture (DAC) technologies are an essential part of the toolkit needed to reach net-zero emissions, and the United States is leading the world in DAC demonstration and early deployment thanks to key government initiatives like the DAC Hubs and strong private sector investments in carbon removal.However, several challenges and uncertainties must be addressed in the coming decade by industry leaders and policymakers to ensure the long-term success of this technology and to support our climate goals.Join the Bipartisan Policy Center, Department of Energy, and the broader DAC community on February 8 for a discussion on the future of DAC deployment in America, including the need to develop robust markets for DAC services, setting up the DAC Hubs for long-term success, and catalyzing public-private synergies through efforts across the federal government.Programming will include keynotes and panels featuring the White House and DOE leadership, senior executives from companies deploying DAC hubs, environmental NGOs, carbon management experts, and the financial community. A cocktail reception will follow the formal agenda.Confirmed Speakers<ul><li>Michael Avery | President, 1PointFive</li><li>Douglas Chan | COO, Climeworks</li><li>Kelly Cummins | Acting Director for the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, DOE</li><li>Noah Deich | Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Carbon Management,DOE</li><li>John Delaney | Former U.S. Representative </li><li>Nicholas Eisenberger | Head of Market Development &amp; Policy Engagement, Global Thermostat and Board Chair at the DAC Coalition</li><li>Chris Gould | Chief Sustainability Officer, California Resources Corporation and Managing Director, Carbon TerraVault</li><li>Jason Grumet | CEO, American Clean Power</li><li>Aliya Haq | Vice President for US Policy and Advocacy, Breakthrough Energy</li><li>Chris Hessler | Founding Partner, AJW, Inc.</li><li>Michael V.
