A Green Economy Collaborative between Livermore Lab Foundation, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, StartUp Tri-Valley, Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group, and the Chabot Las Positas Community College District

Thank you to all who joined us on 11.8.24 to collaborate around solutions on climate change, carbon dioxide removal (CDR), climate technology, innovation investments and clean-tech workforce development.

If you missed the event, no need to despair! There are a number of ways to stay engaged on this important energy opportunity for our region. Below are links to recordings of the panel discussions, presentations from the symposium, and supplemental media to learn more about this important topic.

THE TIME IS NOW and the Tri-Valley region is uniquely positioned to lead and model a green economy, serving as a blueprint for environmental stewardship and sustainable job creation. Through groundbreaking advancements like LLNL’s recent fusion ignition breakthrough, the national Roads2Removal report, and a surge in private investment in clean tech solutions, the Tri-Valley is at the nexus of the global renewable energy transition.
