SusChEM:US/China Workshop on Combustion Related to Sustainable Energy

摘要提案号：1430001pi。本次研讨会旨在确定高优先级的具体研究目标，这些研究目标可以由中美合作的研究团队来实现，而不是由美国研究人员和中国研究人员在没有中美合作的情况下单独工作。在本次研讨会上，中美两国研究人员将确定与可持续能源相关的燃烧方面的高优先级研究目标，并确定可能由美中国家科学基金会共同资助的相关合作研究项目领域。研讨会旨在就与可持续能源相关的燃烧关键领域的挑战、机遇和合作进行广泛而深入的讨论。来自每个国家的参与者都是燃烧（包括燃烧、气化、热解和相关热过程）一般领域的领先/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，例如通过碳捕获和封存（CCS）减少温室气体排放，以及转向低碳或更多碳中性燃料；2)可持续燃料供应，包括向更多的可再生资源过渡，但也包括新的化石资源（如页岩气）和以更气候友好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）；4)能源效率的考虑，这将影响到前三项。中国和美国是化石燃料燃烧产生的二氧化碳排放量最大的两个国家。因此，中美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。参与者将获得关于全球燃烧和可持续能源挑战的更广阔的视角，他们可以将其纳入他们的教学和研究计划。讲习班将为每个参与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群体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，拟议的项目将通过最终报告传播研讨会的结果和主要发现，该报告将作为关键交付成果提供给美国国家科学基金会，并将在犹他大学清洁和安全能源研究所的网站上提供。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程部（ISE）的全球风险基金（GVF）以及美国国家科学基金会工程部的CBET部门共同资助。

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.
