Eco Shares: New Ecology-Friendly Economics
Tuesday, February 08, 2022 – 6:30 PM
Nature-based carbon capture and storage is among the hottest topics in industry and agriculture today. The ecological systems of the Earth provide many different services for humans that until recently have not been part of the human economic system. That is changing and will continue to change as we evolve a new economy that is circular rather than linear as it is today. Prairies, forests and oyster reefs can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in trees and soil and the reef itself, and a market is emerging for buying and selling credits that are certified scientifically. But, with various types of credits being offered by different types of entities, it can feel like the wild west out there.
Joining the Houston Museum of Natural Science this evening is Rice University Professor Jim Blackburn for a discussion of nature-based carbon and other transactions as we delve into the economy of the future.
