  2. A Federal program manager will discuss the evolution of funding in the CDR sector, the state of the art technologies currently participating in federally funded programs, and where this funding is going in terms of absolute spending and the types of projects that will be funded by the Biden administration.
  3. Faculty and student leaders who are working in CDR will present recent projects and technologies.
  4. A call to action for Maryland companies, researchers, faculty and students to work with the Maryland Energy Innovation Institute to form teams that will pursue the XPRIZE.
