About

National and international plans for halting and reversing climate change focus on reducing and eventually ending the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: carbon dioxide (CO2) released by fossil fuel combustion. For some materials, however, carbon is essential and cannot be removed or replaced: for example in aviation fuel, chemicals, plastics, and some construction materials. For these systems, carbon will need to be managed and utilized effectively, in a way that either prevents CO2 from entering the atmosphere or reuses it through circular processes that do not contribute additional emissions.

At the request of the Department of Energy and Congress, the National Academies organized a study to identify market opportunities, infrastructure needs, and future research priorities for carbon utilization. The newly publishedreport identifies potential markets and commercialization opportunities for CO2- and coal-waste-derived products; describes policy and assessment needs to support utilization; examines economic, environmental, and climate impacts of CO2 utilization infrastructure; and puts forward a comprehensive research agenda for carbon utilization technologies.

Join us for a webinar on Monday, August 19, 2024, from 1:00-2:00 PM ET to learn about the report’s key recommendations from members of the study committee.

Public Briefing Presentation

About

Carbon materials pervade many aspects of modern life, from fuels and building materials to consumer goods and commodity chemicals. Reaching net-zero emissions will require replacing existing fossil-carbon-based systems with circular-carbon economies that transform wastes like CO2 into useful materials. As requested in the Energy Act of 2020, this study will explore regional and national market opportunities as well as infrastructure and research needs to help decisionmakers better understand how carbon utilization can contribute to the nation's decarbonization effort.

Please join us for a public briefing on the National Academies’ report Carbon Dioxide Utilization Markets and Infrastructure: Status and Opportunities on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 2 pm ET. The report evaluates market opportunities as well as infrastructure and research needs to help decisionmakers better understand how carbon dioxide utilization can contribute to a net-zero emissions future. During the briefing, members of the committee will discuss the report's key findings and recommendations and take questions from the audience.

About

Carbon materials pervade many aspects of modern life, from fuels and building materials to consumer goods and commodity chemicals. Reaching net-zero emissions will require replacing existing fossil-carbon-based systems with circular-carbon economies that transform wastes like CO2 into useful materials. Requested in the Energy Act of 2020, this study will explore regional and national market opportunities, as well as infrastructure and research, needs to help decision-makers better understand how carbon utilization can contribute to the nation's decarbonization effort. In this first meeting, the committee will strategize in closed session on how to approach their Statement of Task.
