Episode Synopsis

The built environment has significantly contributed to climate change, and it is becoming increasingly clear that net-zero carbon emissions is not enough. Phil Horton and Alysha Helmrich discuss the importance of carbon capture and explore how cities may play a role in carbon banking. In this episode, we will discuss the role that buildings and urban infrastructure will play in carbon draw-down and decarbonization through: end-to-end carbon accounting, building material innovations, and emergent alignment and coordination across critical stakeholders and agencies in the future of our urban environments.Follow the hosts on Twitter:Philip Horton (@asudesignschool)Alysha Helmrich (@AlyshaHelmrich)---Additional Resources:Build Beyond Zero https://islandpress.org/books/build-beyond-zeroCarbon Cure https://www.carboncure.com/Dr. Klaus Lackner and Mechanical Trees https://mechanicaltrees.com/our-latest-news/arizona-state-university-and-carbon-collect-announce-agreement-to-deploy-worlds-first-commercially-viable-passive-carbon-capture-technology/Center for Negative Carbon Emissions https://globalfutures.asu.edu/cnce/Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation https://sustainability-innovation.asu.edu/Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation https://asu.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/production-of-functionalized-carbon-from-synergistic-hydrothermal---If you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future episodes, e-mail us at [email protected] or find us on Twitter @FutureCitiesPod.
