Event Details
Greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide and methane are major contributors to climate change. Concentrations of these greenhouse gases have varied during Earth's history resulting in substantial climate changes, hence there is an urgent need to manage the emissions and promote sequestration of GHG for a sustainable future. While several factors contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions, microbial activities play a vital role in contributing to emissions as well as its capture.
Studies on methods to enhance carbon sequestration by microbes and the influence of different types of microbes and substrates on carbon storage are critical for developing new technologies to mitigate GHG emissions such as capturing carbon in form of feed. This workshop will not only lead to understanding the carbon dynamics, but also create new collaborations to advance technology applications. The workshop will promote sharing of science and technology updates to build a community of researchers and industry experts to work together towards climate action and the earth's sustainability.
