Dr. Julio Friedmann is recognized in the United States for his expertise in carbon removal, climate science, CO2 drawdown from air and oceans, carbon-to-value conversion, hydrogen, industrial decarbonization, and carbon capture and sequestration. Friedmann earned a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a doctorate in geology from University of Southern California. He began his career at ExxonMobil in the oil industry before joining University of Maryland as a researcher.

Friedmann held several roles at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, including chief energy technologist, where his research covered smart grid and energy systems analysis, hydrocarbons, CO2 capture, utilization and sequestration, nuclear fuel cycle, geothermal power, and renewable power integration. He later served as principal deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Fossil Energy at the Department of Energy, overseeing research on advanced fossil energy systems, carbon capture and storage, and CO2 utilization.

Friedmann has also been a senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA, leading the Carbon Management Research Initiative. He is CEO of Carbon Wrangler, LLC, a distinguished associate at the Energy Futures Initiative, and a special advisor to the Global CCS Institute. He has been named a senior fellow at the Breakthrough Institute and the Climate Leadership Council. As chief scientist at Carbon Direct, Friedmann supports the firm’s efforts to reduce, remove, and utilize emissions through science and commerce.

Friedmann received the Greenman Award from the Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies conference series for his contributions to CO2 removal, storage, and utilization. He has authored or co-authored more than 130 scientific articles, including work in "Science" and "Nature," and has been published in The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Friedmann has testified before Congress and state legislatures and has worked with the State Department, Environmental Protection Agency, and Treasury.
