To Listen:

  • Carbon Management with DOE's Dr. Jen Wilcox, from My Climate Journey, Dr. Wilcox talks about her transition from academia to the DOE and explores the changing mandates under the Biden-Harris administration. This podcast includes key topics, such as point-source carbon capture, direct air capture, underground CO2 sequestration, tax credits and incentives such as the 45Q tax credit. Dr. Wilcox also provides insights into the commercialization progress for carbon capture, market evolution and recent DOE FECM carbon dioxide removal purchase pilot prize!
  • The Climate Race: Carbon Removal's Magic Number, from Zero by Bloomberg, Dr. Jennifer Wilcox, head of the US Department of Energy’s office discusses funding two gigantic carbon removal hubs and many small demonstration projects. This talk includes a discussion around why carbon removal is so complicated, crucial, and hitting the magic number $100/tCO2.
  • Exploring the CO2 Emissions Terms: Understanding the Science and Solutions, from the Cheers to CO2 podcast, Dr. Wilcox provides a dive into the complex world of CO2 emissions, starting with navigating the main concepts of carbon-neutrality, carbon negative emissions, carbon utilization, carbon capture and storage, and more! Learn about the advantages and pitfalls of direct air capture technologies and ways that their development can be expedited from the academic and government perspectives.
  • Not Just a Bill: How Policy Shapes Energy Infrastructure, from Cutting Carbon Podcast examines the relationship between government policy and energy, and discuss the ways in which the public and private sectors can work together to support R&D of new projects and technologies.
  • Capturing Carbon: A Discussion with Dr. Jennifer Wilcox, from the Environmental Experts Radio Podcast, Dr. Wilcox shares her insights on how the DOE plans to develop and promote point-source carbon capture over the next several years.
  • The DAC-up Plan for Climate Change with Dr. Jennifer Wilcox, from the Nori Podcast, the discussion distinguishes between carbon capture in general and direct air capture specifically and explains why we need both strategies to succeed in reversing climate change.
  • Dr. Jennifer Wilcox: Investigating Carbon Capture Solutions from Cars to Coal-Fired Power Plants, from the People Behind the Science Podcast, Dr. Wilcox shares about her research and how she became interested in carbon capture.
  • Synthetic Forests: A Possible Way to Remove CO2 from the Air, from TED, Dr. Jennifer Wilcox discusses a clever way to clean the air and help stabilize climate change.
