CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES CANADA’S LEADERSHIP IN CARBON MITIGATION TECH SPARKING IMAGINATION ABOUT THE FUTURE by Deborah Jaremko
S ubodh Gupta says work is underway that can change how CO2 emissions are managed and how young people perceive oil, gas, carbon, and the future. Gupta is talking about the NRG-COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, which he helped launch as a technical advisor. The $20-million purse for the team that successfully develops technology to convert the most CO2 emissions into the highest value products will be awarded this winter. “It tells the younger ones, or the upcoming ones, that there is something that you can do with the CO2. It’s not all bad. That’s the light bulb that needs to go off in the minds of the younger gen- eration that is growing up thinking that CO2 is all bad and fossil fuels are all bad,” says Gupta, the former chief of research and development with oil sands leader Cenovus Energy.
