This symposium address viable, scale-able industrial processes that can sustainably manufacture large quantity commodity and/or energy intensive chemicals and materials, with reduced energy input, waste streams, and greenhouse gas emission. Current industrial practice gaps that will be addressed include 1) reduction in fossil (i.e., underground coal, oil, and gas) energy use, 2) generation of energy and chemicals from renewable (e.g., solar capture, plant-based, algae, etc.) sources, 3) increases in process efficiency (e.g., fuel cells, lower temperature), 4) energy storage technology (batteries, hydrogen), 5) carbon capture and storage/re-use, and 6) direct use of solar energy in processes. Insight into inventories of energy sources/uses and greenhouse gas emission, regulatory challenges and incentives (carbon tax and border adjustment), and market forces, including carbon futures markets, will also be included.
