This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $250,000 to transform biomass and industrial wastes into low-cost, low-carbon construction materials using negative emission technology (NET). The project, conducted by a consortium of researchers from the University of Alabama, University of New Mexico, University of Idaho, and Alabama A&M University (a Historically Black College and University), aims to sequester CO2 into concrete and provide sustainable waste management solutions. The research is expected to benefit low-income and minority communities disproportionately affected by hazardous waste and climate change. The project also includes comprehensive workforce development programs, such as early-career faculty support, undergraduate and graduate training, K-12 education, and teacher training, to promote STEM education and careers in sustainable construction materials and decarbonization. The award period runs from September 15, 2024, to August 31, 2028.
