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

先进制造业有可能通过使用创新技术取代或改进低能效或高排放的制造工艺，并利用新的制造方法来制造提高能效或减少排放的产品，从而为工业脱碳做出贡献。为了充分释放先进制造业在工业脱碳方面的潜力，先进制造、工业电气化、低碳燃料和能源以及碳捕获、利用和储存以及同样重要的技术经济等方面的专家需要进行趋同研究。该奖项支持将于2023年夏季在华盛顿特区举办的工业脱碳先进制造研讨会。研讨会将使广泛的领域专家能够共同讨论并确定经济上可行的由先进制造实现的工业脱碳技术。研讨会的结果将有助于确定基础研究的协调优先事项和战略，从而有可能导致具有成本效益的工业应用。讲者和参与者具有不同的背景，包括来自代表人数不足的群体和代表广泛的机构(例如，少数群体服务、EPSCoR管辖权和非R1机构)的演讲者和参与者。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，包括全面的技术经济评估；(Ii)分享联邦机构的观点；以及(Iii)就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先进制造业用于工业脱碳的鼓舞人心的范例及其技术经济评估。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先进制造业促进工业脱碳的不同主题。此外，其他与会者将就该领域的新兴技术发表想法演讲。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。委员会将在讲习班的技术内容和扩大参与方面与项目小组合作，例如确定和邀请发言者以及为参与者的招聘制定战略。讲习班成果将在一份广泛传播的报告中加以总结。这些发现有望改善工业脱碳先进制造研究倡议的协调，从而促进制造业和脱碳交叉领域的科学进步，增加美国工业的竞争力，更好地实现地球的可持续性。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
