SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Towards Sustainable Energy and Materials: Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. A.-H. Alissa Park\, Ph.D \nLenfest Earth Institute Professor of Climate Change\nDepartment of Earth and Environmental Engineering & Department of Chemical Engineering\nDirector of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy\,\nColumbia University \nTowards Sustainable Energy and Materials: Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage  \nAbstract: \nIn order to meet the ever-increasing global energy demands while stabilizing the atmospheric CO2 level\, the development of carbon capture\, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies is one of the critical needs. In particular\, there has been significant efforts to develop CO2 capture solvents and some (e.g.\, amine-based aqueous solvents) have shown very promising results. Unfortunately\, the energy requirement for the current aqueous solvent systems is still considered to be too high. Thus\, efforts have been focused on the development of second and third-generation CO2 capture solvents which are often water-free. Nanoparticle Organic Hybrid Materials (NOHMs) are a new class of organic-inorganic hybrids that consist of a hard nanoparticle core functionalized with a molecular organic corona that possesses a high degree of chemical and physical tunability. It has recently been discovered that NOHMs have interesting electrolyte properties which may allow the CO2 capture to be pulled by the in-situ CO2 conversion reactions. The development of these unique nanoscale hybrid materials will not only advance CO2 capture materials design but also introduce unique research opportunities in various energy and environmental fields. This seminar will discuss the challenges and opportunities of different CO2 capture and conversion pathways including Negative Emission Technologies (e.g.\, Direct Air Capture) that can allow the development of circular carbon and hydrogen economy using renewable energy. \nBio: \nAh-Hyung (Alissa) Park is the Lenfest Earth Institute Professor of Climate Change in the Departments of Earth and Environmental Engineering & Chemical Engineering at Columbia University. She is also the Director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy. Her research focuses on sustainable energy and materials conversion pathways with emphasis on integrated Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies addressing climate change. Park group is also working on Direct Air Capture of CO2 and Negative Emission Technologies including BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and sustainable construction materials with low carbon intensity. Park received a number of professional awards and honors including the U.S. C3E Research Award (2018)\, PSRI Lectureship Award in Fluidization at AIChE (2018)\, ACS Energy and Fuels Division – Emerging Researcher Award (2018)\, ACS WCC Rising Star Award (2017)\, and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2009). Park also led a number of global and national discussions on CCUS including the Mission Innovation Workshop on Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage in 2017 and the National Petroleum Council CCUS Report in 2019. She is an elected Fellow of AIChE\, AAAS\, ACS\, and RSC. \n  \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote seminar link.
