Jane C. S. Long is an American energy and climate scientist. She is particularly known for her contributions to geoengineering.

Life

Long completed a bachelor's degree in engineering at Brown University and a master's and Ph.D. at University of California, Berkeley. She was dean of the Mackay School of Mines at the University of Nevada, Reno, director of the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy and chair of the Nevada State Task Force on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. She also worked at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, there from 2004 as Associate Director for Energy and Environment. Most recently, she was a visiting researcher at U.C. Berkeley and a scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund. She headed the Bipartisan Center's geoengineering task force and studies on California's energy future for the California Council on Science and Technology.

Work

Long speaks out in the debate about ways out of the climate crisis for negative emissions through geoengineering. She once said:

“Good technologies are lacking to support us in the fight against climate change. It can go so far that we have to artificially cool the earth at the end of this century. [...] Most researchers want to separate and store carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants. However, separating it directly from the air has become increasingly important since the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has reached new record levels."

She has advocated for the implementation of pilot projects on a small scale, in order to build trust and to explore the governance of geoengineering with regard to five crucial aspects - value, risk, transparency, interests and legal constraints - based on such concrete proposals.

She joined the CCST Council in 2013.
