Energy Technologies and Carbon Dioxide Management Symposium

该奖项是为了部分支持“能源技术和二氧化碳管理研讨会”，该研讨会将于2014年2月16日至20日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的圣地亚哥会议中心举行的TMS 2014年年会和展览上举行。在本次研讨会上，学生和其他年轻研究者的参与被视为培养未来几代材料科学家和工程师的关键。NSF资金将用于至少5名学生和3名博士后或特别与会者的注册支持和/或部分旅行支持。适当的学生、博士后或特别与会者将由研讨会组委会确定。本次研讨会将讨论与能源和环境科学相关的问题、复杂性和挑战。它将涵盖可持续能源生态系统和过程的各个技术方面，以提高能源效率，减少和封存二氧化碳和其他温室气体排放。它还将强调在采掘冶金、材料加工和制造业中需要可持续技术，以减少能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。工业节能技术包括创新选矿、冶炼技术、循环利用和废热回收。主题将包括（但不限于）以下领域：二氧化碳和其他温室气体减排冶金，金属和材料生产的可再生能源，二氧化碳的光电还原，废热回收和其他工业节能技术，能源教育和能源监管，生命周期评估和碳足迹，碳封存技术，能源过程基础，热电/电解。鼓励有贡献的演讲纳入能源教育特别会议。为学生与会者提供的支持将通过为学生和其他年轻研究人员提供向该领域的领导者学习并与之建立联系的机会，为美国的劳动力发展做出贡献。此外，一些受资助的学生可能会展示他们自己的研究。鉴于对全球气候变化的日益关注，如何减少二氧化碳的排放是科学界和整个社会广泛关注的问题。鉴于此，需要进行基础技术研究，探索从制造工艺修改到新型碳捕集技术，再到基本教育方法的改变等二氧化碳减排的各个方面。本次研讨会为材料领域的领导者们解决这一挑战提供了理想的论坛。

1358368 (Spanos) This award is for partial support of the "Energy Technologies and Carbon Dioxide Management Symposium" which is to be held at the TMS 2014 Annual Meeting and Exhibition, February 16 - 20, 2014, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. At this symposium, participation by students and other young investigators is viewed as critical to the fostering of future generations of materials scientists and engineers. NSF funding will be employed for registration support and/or partial travel support for at least 5 students and 3 post docs or special attendees. Appropriate students, postdoctoral fellows, or special attendees will be identified by the organizing committee of the symposium. This symposium will address issues, intricacies and challenges relating to energy and environmental sciences. It will cover various technological aspects of sustainable energy eco-systems and processes that improve energy efficiency, and reduce and sequestrate carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse emissions. It will also emphasize the need for sustainable technologies in extractive metallurgy, materials processing and manufacturing industries withreduced energy consumption and CO2 emission. Industrial energy efficient technologies include innovative ore beneficiation, smelting technologies, recycling and waste heat recovery. Topics will include (but are not limited) to the following areas: CO2 and Other Greenhouse Gas Reduction Metallurgy, Renewable Energy Resources for Metals and Materials Production, Photo-electrochemical Reduction of CO2, Waste Heat Recovery and Other Industrial Energy Efficient Technologies, Energy Education and Energy Regulation, Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Footprint, CarbonSequestration Techniques, Energy Process Fundamentals, and Thermo-electric/Electrolysis. Contributed talks are encouraged for inclusion in a special session on energy education. The support provided to student attendees will contribute to U.S. workforce development by giving students and other young investigators the opportunity to learn from and network with leaders in the field. Additionally, some of the supported students may present their own research.The question of how to reduce CO2 emissions is of broad concern for both the scientific community and society at large given the emerging concern surrounding global climate change. In light of this, fundamental technical research exploring all aspects of CO2 emission reduction from manufacturing process modification, to novel carbon recapture technologies, to changes in basic educational approaches is needed. This symposium provides the ideal forum for leadersin the materials arena to tackle this challenge.
