Conversations on Progress: Carbon Dioxide Removal

​Removing carbon from the atmosphere is increasingly seen as an essential part of tackling climate change. But how close are we to making it work at the scale we need? What does the latest research tell us, how is political decisionmaking evolving, and what does it take to turn promising technologies into viable businesses? At our next edition of Conversations on Progress, Antonius Gagern from the Carbon to Sea Initiative, Frank Rattey, founder of Planeteers, and Kilian Rützel from Deutsche Energie-Agentur (dena) will explore the science, politics, and business aspects of carbon removals, followed by an open discussion with the audience.

​Hosted by Stripe and think tank Prometheus, Conversations on Progress is meant to be a home for intellectually curious people: founders, researchers, policymakers, investors, students, and anyone who enjoys engaging with new ideas in good company. Come to learn, challenge assumptions, and meet others who believe the best conversations happen around complex questions.
