Mark Z. Jacobson

Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University Author of "No Miracles Needed: How Today's Technology Can Save Our Climate and Clean Our Air"

Mark Z. Jacobson’s career has focused on better understanding air pollution and global warming problems and developing large-scale, clean, renewable energy solutions to them. Toward that end, he has developed and applied three-dimensional (3-D) atmosphere-biosphere-ocean computer models and solvers to simulate and understand air pollution, weather, climate, and renewable energy systems. He has also developed roadmaps to transition countries, states, cities, and towns to 100% clean, renewable energy for all purposes and computer models to examine grid stability in the presence of 100% renewable energy. Jacobson has been a professor at Stanford University since 1994. His research crosses two fields: atmospheric sciences and energy, which are discussed next. He is also a co-founder of the non-profit Solutions Project.

When it comes to carbon dioxide, last year was a record year. The world emitted more of the climate-warming gas in 2022 than in any year since scientists began recording levels in 1900. The culprit, says the International Energy Agency, is society’s voracious appetite for fossil fuels, and the need to burn them. So … what can be done to prevent dangerous levels of warming? One potential method is called carbon capture and storage, a technology in which CO2 is…
