AbstractProposal Number: 1430001P.I.: Eric G. EddingsThis workshop is targeted to identify high-priority specific research objectives that can be pursued significantly better by collaborative U.S. - China research teams than by U.S. researchers and China researchers working separately without U.S. - China collaboration. In this workshop, U.S. and China researchers will define high-priority research objectives on combustion related to sustainable energy and identify related collaborative research project areas that are potentially fundable jointly by the U.S. NSF and the China NSF. The workshop is designed for broad and in-depth discussions of challenges, opportunities, and collaborations in critical areas of combustion related to sustainable energy. Participants from each country are leading/active scholars in the general area of combustion (which includes combustion, gasification, pyrolysis and related thermal processes). The workshop will include the following 4 themes: 1) global climate change considerations, such as reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas emissions through carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), and switching to lower carbon or more carbon-neutral fuels; 2) sustainable fuel supply, which includes a transition to more renewable resources, but also new fossil-based resources (e.g. shale gas) and new approaches for using fossil resources in a more climate-friendly manner; 3) other environmental impacts beyond climate change (Hg, NOx, SOx, PM2.5, air toxics emission, solid/liquid waste streams); and 4) energy efficiency considerations, which would impact each of the 3 previous items. China and the US are the top two generators of CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel combustion. Consequently, US-China collaboration on combustion and sustainable energy are essential for addressing a variety of global energy-related challenges, ranging from sustainable fuel supply to air quality, solid waste management and global warming. The participants will gain a broader perspective on global combustion and sustainable energy challenges, which they can incorporate into their teaching and research programs. The workshop will develop a network of collaborators well versed in key energy research questions for each of the participant countries. In addition, one US graduate student from an under-represented group will participate in the meeting, allowing her to broaden her perspective on US-China sustainable energy challenges, global collaboration, and promising future research directions. Finally, the proposed project will disseminate the workshop's results and key findings through a final report that will be provided to the U.S. NSF as a key deliverable and which will also be made available on the website for the Institute of Clean and Secure Energy at the University of Utah. This award is co-funded by the Global Venture Fund (GVF) of NSF's International Science and Engineering section (ISE) as well as the CBET division of NSF's Engineering Directorate.

摘要提案编号：1430001 P.I.：埃里克·G Eddings本次研讨会旨在确定高优先级的具体研究目标，这些目标可以通过美中合作研究团队比美国研究人员和中国研究人员在没有美中合作的情况下单独工作更好地实现。 在这次研讨会上，中美两国研究人员将确定与可持续能源相关的燃烧的优先研究目标，并确定美国NSF和中国NSF可能共同资助的相关合作研究项目领域。 研讨会旨在广泛深入地讨论与可持续能源有关的燃烧关键领域的挑战、机遇和合作。 每个国家的与会者都是燃烧一般领域（包括燃烧、气化、热解和相关热过程）的主要/活跃学者。 研讨会将包括以下4个主题：1）全球气候变化的考虑因素，如通过碳捕获和封存（CCS）减少温室气体排放，以及转向低碳或碳中性燃料; 2）可持续的燃料供应，包括向更多的可再生资源过渡，而且新的化石资源（如页岩气）和以更有利于气候的方式利用化石资源的新方法; 3）气候变化以外的其他环境影响（汞、氮氧化物、硫氧化物、PM2.5、空气有毒物质排放、固体/液体废物流）;以及4）能源效率考虑因素，这将影响前3项中的每一项。 中国和美国是化石燃料燃烧二氧化碳排放量最大的两个国家。 因此，美中在燃烧和可持续能源方面的合作对于应对各种全球能源相关挑战至关重要，这些挑战包括可持续燃料供应、空气质量、固体废物管理和全球变暖。 参与者将获得对全球燃烧和可持续能源挑战的更广泛的视角，他们可以将其纳入他们的教学和研究计划。 讲习班将为每个参加国建立一个精通关键能源研究问题的合作者网络。 此外，一名来自代表性不足的美国研究生将参加会议，使她能够拓宽对美中可持续能源挑战、全球合作和未来研究方向的看法。 最后，拟议的项目将通过一份最终报告传播研讨会的成果和主要发现，该报告将作为一项关键交付成果提供给美国国家科学基金会，并将在犹他州大学清洁和安全能源研究所的网站上提供。 该奖项由NSF国际科学与工程部门（伊势）的全球风险基金（GVF）以及NSF工程理事会的CBET部门共同资助。
