The 15 awarded research projects are housed at colleges, universities, and labs across nine states and will advance new technologies to decarbonize biorefining processes used across the energy, transportation, and agriculture sectors.

From setting meaningful baselines and robust internal carbon prices to joining a transformative science-based initiative, here are five actions that companies take to reach net zero.

Building a multiyear emissions baseline not only enables an organization to have a better understanding of its recent historical GHG emissions trends, but it also enables an organization to grasp the business trajectory and associated potential future emissions.

The increasingly stringent emission requirements put in place by authorities and communities around the country require boiler and turbine operators to reevaluate their emission strategies.

When talking about burners, it is essential to address the fundamentals of combustion and fuel burning efficiency, recognizing that higher excess oxygen in a flue gas sample directly correlates to reduced efficiency and higher overall emissions.

CFD enables boiler experts to simulate different processes, such as a burner’s operation, far ahead of building a physical prototype.

The scientists developed nanoscale copper wires with specially shaped surfaces to catalyze a chemical reaction that reduces greenhouse gas emissions while generating ethylene — a valuable chemical simultaneously.

The same mechanisms that keep humans warm do not serve the same purpose in the built environment.

The E8500 PLUS emissions analyzer is a portable tool for EPA compliance level emissions monitoring and testing. The company says the E8500 PLUS is ideal for regulatory and maintenance use in boiler, burner, engine, turbine, furnace, and other combustion applications.
