David Keith reviews the science and technology of solar geoengineering, examining its potential to reduce climate risks, associated new risks, and current uncertainties. He proposes integrating solar geoengineering into a comprehensive 4D climate policy, which includes emissions cuts, carbon removal, and adaptation.

A distinguished expert, David Keith is a Harvard Professor of Applied Physics and Public Policy. He founded Carbon Engineering, a company developing technology to capture CO2 for carbon-neutral fuels. Best known for his work on solar geoengineering, he led Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research Program. He has authored over 200 academic publications and "A Case for Climate Engineering."

The session was moderated by Greg Bronevetsky.

Advanced Energy Economy (AEE) is a national association of businesses and leaders dedicated to making the global energy system more secure, clean, and affordable.

Advanced energy encompasses a broad range of products and services, representing the best commercial technologies for current and future energy needs.

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) documented the University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) microgrid, a leading example of a locally controlled electricity network interconnected with the larger grid. This system manages 42 megawatts of generating capacity, comprising a central cogeneration plant, solar photovoltaic installations, and a fuel cell utilizing natural gas reclaimed from a landfill.

RMI seeks to identify and amplify solutions capable of transforming the electricity system. Learn more about their work at http://www.rmi.org/electricity.
