CREATE Training Program in Carbon Capture

碳捕获是指从能源生产产生的气流中去除温室气体二氧化碳，是缓解气候变化的关键工具。碳捕获是一个复杂的问题，因为来自不同来源的不同类型的气流具有不同的最佳捕获方案。目前的捕获方法不提供可行的捕获选择，因为它们消耗大量的能量，而且成本太高，无法广泛分布。需要新技术，这些创新路线涵盖了广泛的方法。对于一项需要处理大量气体的技术，将材料发现与工艺和系统级工程相结合是至关重要的。此外，碳捕获技术的价值与该技术的接受程度密切相关。环境效益与经济压力的对比将决定公众的接受程度并指导政策决策。CREATE碳捕获培训计划汇集了来自加拿大各地的科学、工程、政治科学和商业领域的研究人员，研究碳捕获的不同方面。该计划还与主要的国际合作伙伴建立联系，以创造一个跨越国界、学科和社会部门的独特培训环境，为具有全球战略重要性的领域培养高价值的人才。

Carbon capture refers to the removal of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from gas streams resulting from energy generation and is a key tool to mitigate climate change. Carbon capture is a complex problem as there are different types of gas streams from different sources each with different optimal capture scenarios. Present capture methods do not offer viable options for capture as they expend large amounts of energy and are too costly to be widely distributed. New technologies are needed and these innovative routes span a wide range of approaches. For a technology that will need to deal with enormous volumes of gas, it is critical for research to merge materials discovery with process and system level engineering. Moreover, the value of a carbon capture technology is intimately tied to the acceptance of that technology. Environmental benefits versus economic stresses will determine public acceptance and guide policy decisions. The CREATE Training Program in Carbon Capture brings together researchers from science, engineering, political science and business from across Canada studying different aspects of carbon capture. The Program also connects to key international partners to craft a unique training environment spanning borders, disciplines and societal sectors to generate personnel of high value in a field of global strategic importance.
