Savvy Bowman is a Program Manager at ClearPath, leading the organization’s carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and steel and concrete industrial decarbonization initiatives. In this role, Savvy works to guide legislative efforts, including through new policy development, and manage stakeholder engagement with policymakers, government, industry, and coalitions.
Prior to joining ClearPath, Savvy was a Business Resolution Analyst at Tesla, where she managed pre-litigation solar and storage assets across North America and conducted risk mitigation assessments to resolve issues ranging from system performance discrepancies to contractual disputes. Her background also includes consulting for Pöyry, reviewing the feasibility of biomass energy deployment in Southeast Asia, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) researching the impacts of bauxite mining in Guinea for aluminum production.
B.S. in Environmental Studies from SUNY-ESF, M.S. in Sustainability Management from Columbia University.
Carbon Dioxide Removal, Iron, Steel, Cement, and Concrete Industry Innovation, Carbon Capture Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), and Agriculture.
Cement and concrete are essential for products that are used in the daily lives of people across the world. They are used in everything from roads and highways to buildings and more. However, the cement and concrete industry is also seen as one of the most difficult to decarbonize sectors of our economy due to the carbon dioxide emissions released.
“Carbon dioxide removal” or “CDR” is becoming a common term in climate and clean energy policy discussions. But what is it? ClearPath is beginning to tackle the what, but also the how.
Carbon capture remains one of the most promising clean energy technologies. It’s becoming widely recognized across party lines for its potential to reduce the environmental footprint of heavy industrial processes and directly remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report reaffirmed the important role carbon capture and removal technologies must play in reducing global carbon emissions.
This memo provides recommendations for the successful deployment of carbon removal solutions and implementation of direct air capture (DAC) hubs by the Department of Energy (DOE), as authorized and appropriated under Section 40308 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58).
Carbon, the sixth most abundant element found on Earth, can be released into our atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and is the foundation of all life. So, how do we get rid of the CO₂ already in the atmosphere? Fortunately, there are multiple carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions.
At ClearPath, reducing power-sector emissions has been our primary focus, but we added the industrial sector to our portfolio — going from tackling a quarter of U.S. carbon emissions to half. Several American steel companies are already working to decarbonize the steel manufacturing process through innovation. Supporting them with good policy will have huge impacts.
