Jim leads the discussion on one of the fastest-emerging opportunities for Michigan’s energy and manufacturing future — carbon capture and storage. Michigan’s unique geology and strong industrial base could put our state at the center of a new wave of energy innovation. We’ll unpack what carbon capture is, what it could mean for jobs, investment and energy independence – all while balancing environmental safeguards with economic growth. Joining Jim in the discussion are:

• Bob Mannes, president & CEO of Core Energy – a leader and early adopter in this space
• Robert Joerg, director of government affairs for the Michigan Laborers District Council
• Mike Alaimo, senior director of legislative and external affairs at the Michigan Chamber and our environmental and energy policy lead.
