SUMMARY:Chevron Lecture on Energy X CHBE Research Symposium May 23, 2025 at Rice University – Houston
DESCRIPTION:\nYou’re invited to the Chevron Lecture × Inaugural ChBE Research Symposium!\nThis day-long event will bridge students, alumni, faculty, and industry professionals to celebrate research, exchange ideas, and establish a new tradition at Rice University!\nThe Rice Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is excited to host the annual Chevron Lecture on Energy on May 23, 2025.\nAbout the 2025 Chevron Lecture\nThis year’s Chevron lecture:\n“The Global Methane Cycle: Emissions, Tipping Points, and Opportunities for Atmospheric Removal”\nDr. Rob Jackson, PhD,\nStanford Doerr School of Sustainability\nFriday, May 23, 2025\n9:30 am – Lecture, Ralph S. O’Connor, 5th Floor\n10:30 am – Reception, Ralph S. O’Connor, 5th Floor\nAbout the Lecture\nMethane is responsible for two thirds as much warming as carbon dioxide in recent decades. Its potency and relatively short lifetime also make it the only greenhouse gas for which mitigation today can reduce peak temperatures over the next decade or two. This talk will discuss current sources and sinks of methane, include fossil fuel, agricultural, and natural systems, and opportunities for reducing emissions cost effectively. It will also examine the emerging field of methane removal from the atmosphere—and the role chemical engineers may play in this solution space.\nDr. Rob Jackson is an Earth scientist at Stanford University (https://jacksonlab.stanford.edu/) and chair of the Global Carbon Project (https://www.globalcarbonproject.org/). One of the top five most cited climate and environmental scientists in the world, Jackson’s current projects include establishing a global network of methane monitoring towers across the Amazon and measuring and reducing methane emissions and air pollution from oil and gas wells, city streets, and homes and buildings. His writings have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Scientific American, and many other outlets. He is also the author of two books of children’s poetry with Highlights magazine. His new book on climate solutions, Into the Clear Blue Sky, was recently named one of “The 8 best science books of 2024” by The Times. Jackson received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Rice University.\nInnagural ChBE Symposium\nThis event brings together academia and industry in the field of chemical and biomolecular engineering. The symposium kicks off with an exciting keynote address by Dr. Rob Jackson, followed by a series of oral presentations showcasing the latest innovations, networking opportunities, and poster sessions. We are delighted to welcome professionals from industry, students, and faculty members to join us.\n
