NEW YORK, NY 鈥�

Columbia University and the Technologies for Carbon Management Project organized by a group of leading engineering societies have been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to form a Research Coordination Network to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. The grant comes from NSF鈥檚 Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability track for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). 
Ah-Hyung (Alissa) Park, Lenfest Junior Professor in Applied Climate Science of Earth and Environmental Engineering and Associate Director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy at the Earth Institute, Columbia University, is the principal investigator. The project will include research, education and outreach efforts to promote multidisciplinary collaborations to address carbon management issues. Park explains 鈥渢his RCN is designed to seed transformative research collaborations in CCUS that cross the boundaries of the natural sciences, engineering, and the social and economic sciences.鈥�
A steering committee of faculty with diverse expertise at Columbia, Princeton, UC Berkeley, Stanford, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Ohio State University is partnering with engineers from the carbon management consortium to host CCUS activities and researchers in other US universities, national labs and industrial labs as well as foreign participants. They鈥檙e planning annual symposia, bi-annual workshops, bi-monthly web-based seminars, and webinars that will encourage collaboration among K-12 teachers, young professionals, academic researchers, industrial practitioners, and international partners. Additionally, Columbia is developing a new masters鈥� degree program focused on Carbon Management, which will tie into the Research Coordination Network鈥檚 activities. 
This new initiative will be supported by the Technologies for Carbon Management Project鈥檚 initiative on the 鈥淐limate Change Grand Challenge,鈥� which was launched in 2008. Darlene Schuster, executive director of the 91成人短视频鈥� Center for Energy Initiatives, which manages the consortium, expressed excitement about the opportunity to partner with Columbia. 鈥淭his new Research Coordination Network will let us leverage the expertise of leaders from different disciplines and different countries,鈥� Schuster said. 鈥淚n fact,鈥� she added, 鈥渋t will be an important and novel鈥攑erhaps a transformative--addition to existing research and work underway in carbon management.鈥�

About the Founder Societies鈥� Technologies for Carbon Management Project

With the belief that engineering professionals have a responsibility to respond to the global challenge of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, five major engineering societies, AIChE (the 91成人短视频), ASME (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers), AIME (made up of the Association for Iron and Steel Technology;, Society of Petroleum Engineer;, The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society; and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration), IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers), and ASCE (and the American Society for Civil Engineers), have joined forces, under the auspices of the United Engineering Foundation, to organize an initiative to address the challenges of developing and implementing technologies for carbon management.
