SUMMARY:Penn Climate Seminar: Andrew Hoffman
DESCRIPTION:Join Penn Climate for a discussion by Andrew Hoffman titled “Climate Change Through the Lens of Veterinarians.”\n\n\nPenn Climate welcomes Andrew Hoffman\, Gilbert S. Kahn Dean of Veterinary Medicine at Penn Vet\, for a seminar titled “Climate Change Through the Lens of Veterinarians.” \nVeterinary medicine aims to protect and preserve animal health\, biodiversity\, and agriculture-food systems\, all areas heavily impacted by climate change. We will discuss the connections between climate change and veterinary medicine while highlighting opportunities to engage across schools through a One Health framework. Finally\, we will discuss Penn Climate Insights\, a new knowledge-sharing platform originating from Penn Vet that aims to bolster climate education and interdisciplinary collaborations across Penn.

SUMMARY:Penn Climate Seminar: Shelley Welton
DESCRIPTION:Join Penn Climate for a discussion by Shelley Welton titled “New Experiments in Public Power.”\n\n\nPenn Climate welcomes Shelley Welton\, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Law and Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy\, for a seminar titled “New Experiments in Public Power.” \nIn leading jurisdictions\, the “easy” part of the clean energy transition has been achieved. What remains to be accomplished—constructing energy systems that emit no carbon\, rather than just substantially less carbon—will be harder and more expensive. In recognition of these challenges\, both New York State and the United Kingdom recently passed laws creating state-owned clean energy companies: New York by giving a new mission to its “New York Power Authority\,” and the UK by creating “Great British Energy.” \nProponents of these new state-owned clean energy entities hope that they might deliver the energy transition more affordably\, fairly\, and quickly than privately owned counterparts. Critics suggest that they are a distraction from solutions capable of mobilizing and deploying private finance at necessary scales. This presentation will discuss and assess these new public power entities\, considering their theory\, politics\, and promise alongside their early implementation challenges and limits.

SUMMARY:Penn Climate Seminar: Karen Goldberg
DESCRIPTION:Join Penn Climate for a discussion by Karen Golberg titled “Developing Alternatives to Oil as Feedstocks for our Chemicals and Liquid Fuels”\n\n\nPenn Climate welcomes Karen Goldberg\, Vagelos Professor in Energy Research and Chemistry\, and the inaugural Director of the Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technology\, for a seminar titled “Developing Alternatives to Oil as Feedstocks for our Chemicals and Liquid Fuels.” \nIt is widely accepted that decarbonization of our energy systems will have the largest impact on mitigation of climate change. But\, with a move away from oil as a primary energy source\, we will need to develop other sustainable sources for our liquid fuels\, and we will also need to reinvent our chemical industry and economy. Gasoline and other liquid fuels are the major products that are made from oil\, but oil is also the source of most of the chemicals that are used to make all the consumer goods that we have come to rely on. Our medicines\, body-care products\, detergents\, paints\, plastics\, fibers\, fabrics\, and essentially everything we use everyday are currently derived from petroleum. Petroleum has provided the carbon-based building blocks used to make all these consumer goods\, all of which are available in sufficient supply and at low cost due to the economy of scale of the enormous oil refining industry. Fundamentally new pathways\, from new sources\, to these chemicals and liquid fuels that we depend on must be developed to successfully transition to a sustainable future. In this presentation\, Karen Goldberg will describe how we arrived at our current energy landscape\, projections on where we are going\, and present some of the exciting strategies that scientists are pursuing to allow us to use natural gas\, carbon dioxide and even waste plastic to prepare our chemicals and fuels in the future.
