CAS-Climate: Workshop on Advanced Manufacturing for Industrial Decarbonization; Arlington, Virginia; Summer 2023

先进制造业有潜力通过使用创新技术和利用新的制造方法取代或改进低能源效率或高排放的制造过程，以制造提高能源效率或减少排放的产品，从而促进工业脱碳。要充分发挥先进制造在工业脱碳中的潜力，需要在先进制造、工业电气化、低碳燃料和能源、碳捕集、利用和封存等方面进行专家融合研究，同样重要的是在技术经济等方面进行融合研究。该奖项支持将于2023年夏季在华盛顿特区地区举行的工业脱碳先进制造研讨会。研讨会将使广泛的领域专家共同讨论并确定经济上可行的技术，以实现先进制造业的工业脱碳。讲习班的成果将有助于就可能导致具有成本效益的工业应用的基础研究确定协调的优先事项和战略。演讲者和与会者将具有不同的背景，包括那些来自代表性不足的群体和代表广泛的机构（例如，少数民族服务，EPSCoR管辖和非r1机构）。本次研讨会旨在：(i)确定先进制造业在工业脱碳方面的差距和挑战，包括彻底的技术经济评估；（ii）分享联邦机构的观点；（iii）为经济上可行的脱碳技术的研究倡议提出建议。这些目标将通过一系列活动来实现。来自工业界、国家实验室和学术界的专家将介绍工业脱碳先进制造的鼓舞人心的例子及其技术经济评估。来自联邦机构的个人将谈论他们机构的观点。小组讨论将深入探讨工业脱碳先进制造的不同主题。此外，其他与会者还将就该领域的新兴技术进行想法介绍。将成立一个指导委员会，由具有不同专业、技术和人口背景的代表组成。委员会将与项目小组就讲习班的技术内容和扩大参与进行合作，例如确定和邀请发言者以及制定与会者征聘战略。讲习班的成果将在一份广泛散发的报告中加以概述。研究结果有望改善工业脱碳先进制造研究计划的协调，从而促进制造业与脱碳交叉领域的科学进步，提高美国工业的竞争力，更好地实现地球的可持续性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Advanced manufacturing has a potential to contribute toward industrial decarbonization through replacing or improving manufacturing processes of low energy efficiency or high emissions using innovative technologies and utilizing novel manufacturing methods to make products that improve energy efficiency or reduce emissions. To unleash the full potential of advanced manufacturing for industrial decarbonization, convergent research is required among experts in advanced manufacturing, industrial electrification, low-carbon fuels and energy sources, as well as carbon capture, utilization and storage, and equally important, techno-economics, etc. This award supports a workshop on advanced manufacturing for industrial decarbonization to be held in the Washington DC area during summer 2023. The workshop will enable extensive domain experts to discuss together and identify economically viable technologies for industrial decarbonization enabled by advanced manufacturing. Results from the workshop will be instrumental in setting coordinated priorities and strategies on fundamental research that potentially leads to cost-effective industrial applications. Speakers and participants with a diverse background will be targeted, including those from underrepresented groups and representing a wide range of institutions (e.g., minority serving, EPSCoR jurisdiction, and Non-R1 institutions).This workshop aims at: (i) identifying gaps and challenges in advanced manufacturing for industrial decarbonization, including thorough techno-economic assessments, (ii) sharing perspectives from federal agencies, and (iii) formulating recommendations for research initiatives on economically viable decarbonization technologies. The objectives will be achieved through a set of activities. Experts from industry, national laboratories, and academia will present inspiring examples of advanced manufacturing for industrial decarbonization and their techno-economic assessment. Individuals from federal agencies will talk about their agencies’ perspectives. Panel discussions will provide a deep dive into different topics on advanced manufacturing for industrial decarbonization. In addition, idea presentations will be given by other participants regarding emerging technologies in the field. A steering committee will be formed, consisting of representatives with diverse professional, technical and demographic backgrounds. The committee will work with the project team on both the workshop technical content and broadening participations, such as identifying and inviting speakers and strategizing participant recruitments. The workshop outcomes will be summarized in a report with wide disseminations. The findings are expected to improve coordination on the research initiatives on advanced manufacturing for industrial decarbonization and, therefore, promote the progress of science in the intersection between manufacturing and decarbonization, increase the competitiveness of the U.S. industry and better the sustainability of the planet.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
