NSF Workshop on CO2 Capture and Sequestration

0203334摘要：该奖项为为期一天的分离专家研讨会提供支持，以确定二氧化碳捕获和封存研究的需求和机会。 二氧化碳是可能导致全球变暖的主要温室气体。 许多二氧化碳是由发电厂、运输和工业生产产生的。 为了处理全球变暖的潜在问题，期望开发用于分离和稳定二氧化碳的有效且经济的方法，使得可以控制向大气的排放。 参加研讨会的专家将为国家科学基金会在这一领域的适当研究投资提供指导。研讨会由科罗拉多大学组织。 它将于2002年3月11日在杜兰大学举行。 计划与AIChE会议同时举行，该会议将提供一个关于全球变暖的研讨会。 因此，该地点将有一些专家。 预计指定经营实体的工作人员也将参加，因此讲习班将为协调两个机构的研究工作提供机会。 其影响将是促进温室气体控制技术的发展，以保护全球环境。

Abstract for 0203334:This award provides support for a one-day workshop of separations specialists to identify needs and opportunities for research on capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the leading greenhouse gas that may be responsible for global warming. Much carbon dioxide is produced by power plants and by transportation as well as industrial operations. To deal with the potential treats of global warming it is desirable to develop efficient and economical methods for separating and stabilizing carbon dioxide so that discharges to the atmosphere can be controlled. The experts attending the workshop will provide guidance to NSF regarding appropriate research investments in this area.The workshop is being organized by the University of Colorado. It will be held at Tulane University during the week of March 11, 2002. It is planned to coincide with an AIChE conference that will offer a symposium on global warming. Thus, a number of experts will be available at that site. It is expected that staff from DOE will also participate so the workshop should provide an opportunity for coordination of research efforts by the two agencies. The impact will be to enhance development of greenhouse-gas-control technology for the protection of the global environment.
