2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Climate Change and Engineering Sustainability

The topics can be broad, essentially any sustainable engineering development that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and mitigates climate change. Examples can include CO2 removal (CRD) from the atmosphere via direct air capture (DAC), point source carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCU and/or CCS), bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), or biomass with carbon removal and storage (BiCRS), and transportation and industrial decarbonization.
