sustainability forum

Thursday September 11th
5:30 - 7:30PM

Uptic Studios
402 E Sprague Ave, Spokane WA, 99202

Join us for a forward-looking discussion on innovative decarbonization technologies shaping the future of commercial and industrial sustainability. This session will explore how CarbonQuest is deploying novel carbon capture solutions to help organizations meet their sustainability goals.

About the Event
This quarter’s forum features Shane Johnson, President and CEO of CarbonQuest, who will present on Novel Technology Approaches for Commercial and Industrial Decarbonization. His presentation will highlight the company’s Distributed Carbon Capture System (DCCS) and CarbonControl solutions, demonstrating how these technologies reduce direct emissions and create healthier, more resilient built environments.

Through real-world applications and implementation strategies, attendees will gain valuable insights into the practical, economic, and environmental impacts of these cutting-edge approaches to decarbonization.

Continuing Education Opportunity
Architects attending this event will earn 1.5 LU/HSW continuing education credits, strengthening their expertise in sustainability and mission-driven design.

What You’ll Learn

  • Define “hard to abate” commercial and industrial applications and the challenges of decarbonization.
  • Learn how DCCS technology directly reduces emissions and where it is best applied.
  • Evaluate the economics and implementation process for DCCS in real-world projects.
  • Examine how CarbonControl solutions address unique challenges in commercial decarbonization.
  • Understand the economic framework for applying CarbonControl technologies.

Networking & Collaboration
This forum is part of our ongoing quarterly series, designed to foster connections among professionals in architecture, engineering, construction, education, and community development. Attendees will engage in interactive discussions and network with like-minded individuals who are driving positive change through mission-aligned sustainability practices.
We look forward to welcoming you to this engaging and thought-provoking event, where sustainability and purpose come together in meaningful ways.

About carbon quest

An accomplished entrepreneur who led two companies to successful exits, Shane Johnson is President and CEO of CarbonQuest, a cleantech company specializing in innovative decarbonization solutions through distributed carbon capture technology.
Prior to CarbonQuest, Shane co-founded Demand Energy Networks, a leader in distributed energy storage, management, and optimization. From 2010-2020, Shane’s guidance established this technology in the market, leading to its acquisition by Enel in 2017. Previously, Shane played a pivotal role at World Wide Packets, a gigabit Ethernet broadband pioneer, where he helped build the company from 2000-2010 before its acquisition by Ciena in 2008. Shane’s career began at Douglas PUD, where he pioneered optical Ethernet for utility controls and communication, contributing to one of the world’s first community open-access networks—still in operation today under its acquiring companies.
CarbonQuest is elevating standard carbon capture and sequestration solutions, combining trusted technologies with an innovative, expert approach to point source carbon capture for fuel cells, combined heat and power systems and boilers across multiple applications. Through our cost-effective, modular technology, we are able to deliver an impactful yet widely-accessible emission reduction solution that promotes stronger and healthier communities. Ultimately, our goal is to actively promote and support the widespread adoption of distributed l carbon capture™ technology to move us a step closer to a more sustainable future.
CarbonQuest’s technology captures CO2 before it has the chance to escape as a greenhouse gas. After a multi-stage process that includes compression, drying, and cooling, the end product is liquid CO2 stored securely in a tank. The liquified CO2 is sold to companies as a sustainable carbon source (SustainableCO2™) that can be used for concrete manufacturing, jet fuel production, and other chemical and plastics processes.
