"Let's talk about C-C-S"...now Salt-N-Pepa will be stuck in your head all day thanks to Sarah Derdowski. You're welcome. Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) may not be as sexy as a '90s Hip Hop group, but it is a realistic way of how we can get to net zero and meet our climate change goals with minimal changes in behavior. We regularly hear about goals around new innovations in energy, ESG, and decarbonization, but rarely do we talk directly about how we can achieve those goals in a practical manner. In this episode we talk with our guest, Ashleigh Ross, Carbon America, about the definition of CCS, how it can be applied across industries, and the unfortunate truth about the complications around getting projects running (permitting, anyone?).

An existential crisis, by definition, refers to the ensemble of feelings and questions we have related to with the meaning and purpose of our life. Today's guest, Jennifer Cogburn, BloombergNEF, talks about how a lot of people have fear and anxiety about the energy transition.

Right now, there is both danger and opportunity, and it's what you do about those things existing that makes the difference.

Prior to joining the team at Target, Farhana had a long career in the oil & gas industry that allowed her to explore multiple countries and cultures.

In addition to explaining ESG and some of the common misconceptions, Farhana touches on lessons learned throughout her career, her passion for helping other women, and shares tips on how to find the support you need, because women CAN do it all.
