Traditional carbon capture systems rely on solid or liquid sorbents which capture CO2 from feed streams and release it at high temperatures. Such processes use vast amounts of energy and are therefore, difficult to scale. Verdox has designed a fully electric system for carbon capture which operates at ambient conditions that allows for far more efficient capture and release of CO₂ using only electricity, and without the need for heat or water. Join Dr. Sahag Voskian, the inventor of Verdox’s Electro-Swing Adsorption (ESA) carbon capture technology, as he describes the development and deployment of a cutting edge carbon capture technology that is 70% more efficient than current carbon capture technologies in many applications, including direct air capture.

Chemistry education is more than teaching students how to use the Periodic Table, balance chemical equations, and work in a lab. Educators are responsible for mentoring and developing the next generation of scientists who are far more diverse than meets the eye. Everything from the language we use, to the way we grade and structure our lessons, to the students we favor can betray unconscious biases and learned behaviors that risk alienation of students and the loss of budding scientists to other fields. Just as it is important to keep up with the latest science as our knowledge of the world evolves through experimentation, it is equally important that we challenge our traditional teaching pedagogy as our understanding of the human experience evolves as well. Join ACS for this special Pride Month webinar with a trio of educators who are challenging the status quo in STEM education to create a more inclusive experience for all students. Discover ways to support students with intersectional identities, evaluate and overcome the traditional binary in gendered language, and learn how far we've come in the last decade in regards to the LGBTQ+ experience in STEM programs. This ACS Webinar is co-produced with the ACS Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Respect.

There are over 11,000 facilities across the United States that handle hazardous chemicals, such as chemical manufacturers and water treatment plants. These facilities face hazards from flooding, rising sea levels, storm surges, wildfires, and other natural disasters that are increasing in frequency due to climate change. According to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), at least 31% of these facilities are already in areas with increased risk from some of these adverse weather events. However, the US Environmental Protection Agency does not consistently assess how they are preparing for the next natural disaster. Join Senior Analyst Krista Mantsch from GAO's Natural Resources and Environment team and the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) to learn how chemical facilities can increase their resilience to climate change, including what to consider when updating their existing Risk Management Plans (RMP). This ACS Webinar is co-produced with the US Government Accountability Office, ACS Chemical Health & Safety, and ACS Advocacy.
