Land Use and the Role of Biomass in Achieving Net Zero Greenhouse Emissions

Clean energy systems require land for solar arrays, wind turbines, transmission lines, and other infrastructure, but biofuel feedstocks occupy by far the largest area of land dedicated to energy production.

Join us for an Energy Policy Seminar featuring Dan Lashof, the Director of World Resources Institute, United States. Lashof will discuss how the United States could achieve net zero emissions by mid-century in a world with increasing pressure on available land to feed a growing global population, preserve biodiversity, and sequester carbon.

Q&A to follow. Buffet-style lunch will be served.

Registration: RSVP required. A Harvard University ID is required for in-person attendance; all are welcome to attend via Zoom.

Recording: The seminar will be recorded and available to watch on the Belfer Center's YouTube channel. Those who register for this event will automatically receive a link to the recording as soon as it becomes available.
