We mine resources to make energy. Why not mine the air for energy byproduct that can cause harm? That’s the basic premise of AirMiners, a California-based organization that will make a special presentation for Japan NRG next week to discuss how, in their words, “climate crisis is an opportunity to create a better future.”

Japan NRG will host a 60-minute webinar with AirMiners senior members, Jason Grillo and Tito Jankowski, who will discuss carbon removal activities in North America and how companies in Asia Pacific could leverage those approaches to do good for the climate and create business opportunities.

Jason and Tito will be joined on the panel by Erin Burns, the Executive Director of Carbon180, an organization focused on U.S. carbon removal policies.

About AirMiners:
The organization seeks to inspire, educate, and accelerate the development of the carbon removal industry. Their goal is to achieve gigaton scale carbon removal as rapidly as possible, globally and across all methodologies. In particular, AirMiners focuses on fostering the formation of new companies by providing funding for startups with the idea of creating “1,000 shots on goal” for carbon removal.
