Jane Long

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jane CS Long is an energy and climate scientist. She is particularly known for her contributions to geoengineering .

Life

Long received a bachelor's degree in engineering from Brown University and a masters and doctoral degree from UC Berkeley . She was the dean of the Mackay School of Mines at the University of Nevada, Reno , director of the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy, and chair of the Nevada State Task Force on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. She also worked at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore National Lab , where she was Associate Director for Energy and Environment from 2004 . Most recently she was a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley and a researcher at the Environmental Defense Fund . She led the Bipartisan Center's geoengineering task force and studies on California's energy future for the California Council on Science and Technology .

Act

Long speaks out in favor of negative emissions through geoengineering in the debate about ways out of the climate crisis . She once said: “There is a lack of good technologies that support us in the fight against climate change. It may come to the point that we will have to artificially cool the earth at the end of this century. [...] Most researchers want to capture and store CO 2 from coal-fired power plants. However, capturing it directly from the air has become increasingly important since the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere reached new record levels. ”She has written numerous publications on strategies for climate change. She has spoken out in favor of carrying out pilot projects on a small scale in order to build trust and, on the basis of such concrete proposals, to sound out the governance of geoengineering with regard to five decisive aspects - value, risk, transparency, interests and legal framework conditions.
