Reactive Carbon Capture Workshop
The virtual ARPA-E Reactive Carbon Capture Workshop was hosted by Program Directors Dr. Jack Lewnard and Dr. David Tew on Wednesday & Thursday, February 2 & 3, 2022. The workshop brought together thought leaders with backgrounds in fuel synthesis, carbon capture, and process engineering (among others) to identify opportunities and potentially transformational technology approaches for inexpensive conversion of diffuse or point-source CO2 to high-value chemical intermediates and/or fuel products. ARPA-E’s goal is to look beyond existing paradigms for fuels/chemicals production and existing technology development roadmaps to identify transformative R&D pathways for highly integrated processes that produce carbon neutral chemicals/fuels from captured CO2 feedstocks. The workshop helped inform technology targets for transformational carbon recycling processes that redefine how we manage and use carbon for fuels and chemicals.
