Webinar Series: PIMA/APPTI Decarbonization Investigations Continues

TAPPI’s PIMA Division continues its latest webinar series, PIMA/APPTI Decarbonization Investigations with Part 2: BioGas on Tuesday, October 22. The use of carbon capture technology for fossil fuel emissions is gaining greater understanding, with ongoing advancements and demonstrations across various manufacturing sectors worldwide. There is still much to understand when it comes to biogenic carbon emissions and whether existing pilot scale technologies will function properly.

Tune into this webinar series moderated by Christopher O. Luettgen, Ph.D., Executive Director and CEO of the Alliance for Pulp & Paper Technology Innovation.

Webinar attendance is open to everyone and there is no cost to attend, but registration for each part of the webinar series is required.
