Workshop Agenda
Workshop on Novel Approaches to Carbon Management
National Research Council (NRC)
Board on Energy and Environmental Systems (BEES)
Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR)
Open Sessions
February 12–14, 2003
Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center
100 Academy Drive
Irvine, CA
PURPOSE: The purpose of the workshop is to identify novel approaches to reducing the net input to the atmosphere of CO2 from fossil-fuel-based energy systems, including attention to reducing emissions from fossil-fueled systems based on coal, oil or natural gas, biological engineering approaches to carbon removal from the atmosphere, engineering of the entire fuel-cycle system, etc. The concepts, approaches, and research areas that might lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in carbon management identified in the workshop will provide information to DOE to be used to stimulate potential research proposals. |
